will Soyuz TMA-02M still land on Nov 22nd if TMA-22 docks on Nov 14th?
I am surprised that Progress M-13M will dock to Pirs... I thought that it would take the place of Progress M-12M on Zvezda, which would be better for reboosts (and MMOD shielding)

So the question is, what is more valuable to the RS: Additional attitude control (Progress on Pirs), or additional reboost capability (Progress on SM)?

from 19th November to the end of December, landing site lighting conditions will be too dark to permit a landing. Adequate landing site lighting will return toward the end of December, but by that time Soyuz TMA-02M will be past its 200 day orbital lifetime.

How can Soyuz TMA-02M land on November 22?Just before dawn. Not perfect but acceptable and been done before (IIRC)
It is understood that a 22nd November undocking of Soyuz TMA-02M would result in acceptable lighting conditions at the Kazakhstan landing site by way of a dawn landing.
