It does not appear that you would qualify to support your fiance when she becomes your wife. Not a good sign. Although, generally, you can find a second sponsor, I don't believe the USCIS would look favorably on your family supporting the two of you. Get a decent job with decent salary before you file anything on behalf of anyone.

Yes you may.

However, you will need a joint-sponsor as well on your application who does qualify under the Affidavit of Support requirements.
