It's tough to read an all Caps sentence. Write it normally and people will still reply.

FP you submitted for PR or Student visa have no bearing on citizenship application. If your name appears in criminality search because of common name etc. they might ask you to give FP to verify. I am not sure if you can get it done in India. Someone else will answer that part. FP is requested during Background check phase. If it gets completed it means no FP is needed.

Citizenship test as its online can be done from India too. You just have to reply to the test email once you receive it and then IRCC will approve it.
Giving test outside Canada may trigger an Interview phase before your application is approved. Also IRCC may ask you to provide proof of your return to Canada(Boarding pass etc.)

Oath is the only step for which you have to be in Canada even if its virtual.

Staying for a prolonged time outside Canada may have a bearing on your application timeline. There are some examples of it in this forum. Some may not have faced any issue because of it. So it's a tricky situation.

If I may add, there could be implications on your PR status as well, depending on how long your application takes and how long you choose to live outside Canada.
