It's up to the USCIS interviewer whether he will ignore your unauthorized employment, scold you, or declare you in violation of employment rules. Normally, the reviewers simply ignore your history of working as unauthorized when processing you for conversion to Permanent Resident status.

No. Overstay and unauthorized employment are irrelevant for AOS in the immediate relative category (spouse, under-21 unmarried child, or parent of US citizen). It cannot cause a problem. It's important to make sure the person never falsely claimed to be a US citizen, because that's a lifetime ban with no waiver.
