They are all SAG-AFTRA members as far as I know, and LoVM is a covered work so anything related to the show is likely on hold including con appearances (though it’s an animation work which seems to be in a grey area based on what I’ve read on SAGAFTRAs website). The stream though is not a covered work so can likely continue (and since they all need to make a living I would assume they will continue).
Good point on con appearances. I just saw Felicia Day post that her SDCC appearance has to follow SAGAFTRA strike and they won't discuss anything related to TV/movies. I wondered if this would impact CR's SDCC appearance as well. But if as you said, animation is not covered, then I think they should be ok?
They're all actors, and I think they're probably part of SAG-AFTRA. However, the strike is for their labor dispute with the studios/producers. Critical Role is its own thing, and should be fine.

Doesn’t seem like it. Not sure if you ever got your answer, but this article says CR and D20 won’t be affected.
