        Yes
 
 If so, how soon?  I'm not sure when the peek honey flow is here, and
didn't know if the honey production will drop off quickly soon or if it
will continue for a while longer.  Do the bees need more room?
 
        Yes, if the flow is not over it should be on now.

        Yes
 If so, can the capped frames be stored so that extraction can be done
at a later time?
 
        Yes but you will have to protect them from wax moths and granulation.
It would be far easier to just put another super on. This is a good time
to "under super".

        Depends on where you live. Two deeps will hold enough for anywhere in
the US and most of Canada. Consult a local expert.
