Relax... it is just a USCIS internal code so that any USCIS or CBP person looking at the stamp can see that you are/were a spouse of a US citizen with a pending denied/re-opened case...same as someone entering under the VWP,  it will have 'WT' annotated. 

 

 

There are a LOT of codes. You can read them all here if you like (page 141onwards...all the way up to 236). TR6 is on page 203

Mine has TC-1 which as you can see from the above is the same category as TR6 

 

 

Yes, you can travel. Be aware that you will have to have a quick visit to secondary to verify your status when you come back, but it won't take long.

You will be stamped in LPR or ARC exactly as a normal LPR, which is what you are.

 It probably is IR6 which means spouse of a USC who was approved for a  GC via AOS.

I don't think there is a category called TR6. It probably is IR6 which means spouse of a USC who was approved for a  GC via AOS.

They don't always - I've had 9 of these sodding stamps so far, and some have, some haven't

 Don't worry about it - doesn't invalidate it.

And the expired card if you still have it (some have it taken at stamp appointments, some don't - I still have mine) as it speeds things up at your POE.

I googled it, its just a class of action letting the officer knows youre a us citizen with roc denied/reopened.  I hope however your case works out for the best.
