I guess you are eligible for both OPT and CPT after two semesters... So I guess you should not have any issues.. To get a clear picture, ask ur University's DSO.

You are eligible to get OPT as well a STEM extension. In my opinion duration of MS program should not matter.You are good to go.

Check with your DSO on how they define One Academic Year. Example: "One academic year" at University of Washington is defined as three full-time quarters per the academic calendar, including final exams week. An exception to the academic year rule is provided for graduate students whose programs require immediate participation in CPT.
