Yes, you don't have to be in the US while the 485 is pending. You will need to be here for any appointments - fingerprinting, interview, etc. You also need to intend to be a permanent resident and work in the position listed on the I-140 (assuming this is an employment-based case). CIS might issue an RFE on the 485, asking for evidence of this, so you need to be able to provide it.

only for 2 months. You should ask a friend to monitor your mail. Sometimes USCIS just sends FP requests out of the blue. At least you will be able to call and reschedule the FP.
