You are still a citizen of India... you do not need a visa to enter your country

You are a resident of the USA... you do not need a visa to re-enter the USA

You're golden. Your valid Indian passport gets you back into India, and the combination of your valid Indian passport and your valid green card gets you back into the US. You might even be able to get back into the US with just the valid green card - no valid passport technically required, not that it matters too much. You're good to go.

This does not sound right. It use to be that a passport was not required from Mexico, Canada and some of the Caribbean. But that has all changed. I believe a passport is required to enter the US. That is like saying a US Citizen can enter the US with a Birth Certificate only and no passport. That is not the case.

I don't know either. I'm going on some vague memories from airport information posters indicating (or at least implying) that a GC, by itself, is an acceptable entrance document for a US PR. I think it might be, just as a US passport, by itself, is an acceptable entrance document for a US citizen. See the parallel?

But I sincerely don't know. Hence the qualifications in my post. Not that it matters, since the OP would need their passport to get into their own country and will have it on their person anyways.

you need a machine readable ID to get into the USA... typically for citizens, that is there passport... for aliens, it can be there GC
