If you travel back home now, you will effectively self-deport. You don't have that many options.

You should not have applied for adjustment of status until you got your J-1 waiver approved.

Yes, a judge can do what your attorney told you. Since you have a lawyer, you should consult them before making any decisions, such as going abroad while being in removal (deportation) proceedings.
