You both need to submit different forms. As the sponsor, you are required to file an I-864 affidavit of support form regardless of your employment status. Your husband will need to file an I-864A form as the household member of a sponsor.

He should stay and wait until he receives his green card before travelling outside the US. There is no requirement that he leave. In fact, leaving the US will complicate his situation. The entire process should take 3 months from start to finish if done right :).

As the petitioner/sponsor, you are required to file an I-864 affidavit of support for the beneficiaries regardless of your income or employment status. You normally have to submit a copy of the most recent tax return with your affidavit of support, in this case your 2013 tax return. However, immigration will accept a copy of your 2012 tax return instead if you also submit proof that you had requested an extension to file your tax return for last year.
