1) Is he eligible to apply for change of status from visit visa to immigrant, if I file I-130 and I-485 for him despite of having 2 wives outside US?

Did you indicate that you're planning to have him come to the United States on a visitor's visa and then file an Adjustment of Status?

Moreover, during his visa interview he wasn’t asked if he has multiple wives.

Which wife did he list on the DS 160? on the I485 it requires you list all your wives. it is best to take care of these issues befor he files not after.

My current husband divorced his previous wife (overseas) 12 years ago.

The interviewer who did our interview on our I-130/I-465 AOS case was very, very interested in the divorce decree.  She scrutinized it, made a copy of it, asked a bunch of questions, making sure he was not still married back home.  I know there is a difference in that your father is here and his wives are not - but the state of being married to two women at the same time is his state of being, and it is not acceptable to USCIS or US law.  So he has to terminate one or the other of his marriages, and keep the paperwork, or expect denial.
