Cory,
1) I am not optimistic about your chances mainly because of your undergrad GPA. Certainly if you really want Harvard, you shoud apply to Harvard, but also apply to other schools. Don't count on Harvard.
2) The best time to apply is as early as your application is ready. I like first round, but not if you are compromising quality. Please see Round 1/Round 2 Fight.
3) Neutral.
4) Take classes now to show you can earn A's when you are motivated and have the time. Also let the schools know you worked while going to college. Stress your leadership roles on and off the job.

Good luck!

Thank you Linda, I appreciate your advise. Two additional questions
1/Which schools do you think I have a reasonable chance at?
2/What type of classes would you recommend?
Thanks again,
Cory
