Sorry, I has a stupid today!

You've already received the answer to your question but I just wanted to add that the longer you've paid into it and the less you've collected means more weeks of benefits Check out this link:

No - but the longer the period between leaving employment and your move, they wonder what the real reason was as well as you're technically employable. I doubt 3 weeks matters though.

I personally left my job 1.5 weeks before my physical move to the US. I spent a month packing every night when I got home from work after my K1 interview
