Can my husband reschedule an appointment with immigration since deportation is up or does he have to wait for the I-212 to go through and be approved?

Sadly,  it appears from your description that by re-entering without inspection a second time after he was removed the first time, your husband triggered a separate bar to being issued an immigrant visa Under INA § 212(a)(9)(C), he is ineligible to be granted an immigrant visa for 10 years. INA § 212(a)(9)(C) - Aliens unlawfully present after previous immigration violations (i) In general Any alien who-- (I) has been unlawfully present in the United States for an aggregate period of more than 1 year, or (II) has been ordered removed under section 1225(b)(1) of this title, section 1229a of this title, or any other provision of law, and who enters or attempts to reenter the United States without being admitted is inadmissible. (ii) Exception Clause (i) shall not apply to an alien seeking admission more than 10 years after the date of the alien's last departure from the United States if, prior to the alien's reembarkation at a place outside the United States or attempt to be readmitted from a foreign contiguous territory, the Secretary of Homeland Security has consented to the alien's reapplying for admission.So, based on this, he must remain outside the United States 10 years from the date he last departed, which appears to be 2017.

Yes, you can sponsor her. Since she entered in a visa and overstayed, she should be eligible to complete the process in the U.S.

If you or another of her children are 21 years of age or older, you may be able to sponsor her. First, you need to check if she can adjust in the U.S. That means that she either entered on a visa and overstayed or had a petition on file on or before April 30, 2001.
