Overseas travel after getting greencard

Greetings, so I have two questions.

Context: Me and my daughter got our immigrant visas approved in December 2025, and moved to the US in February 2026 with my daughter. I have sole custody of her. We received our physical green cards in March 2026 in our new address in the USA.

Question 1: We were told randomly by family that we aren't supposed to travel overseas at least 6 months after arriving in the USA. We arrived in February, so that means we aren't supposed to travel at least until August. Is this true?

Question 2: My daughter wants to go visit her mother in her home country for summer vacations. She is a minor (13 years old). Can she travel alone or do I have to travel with her as her legal guardian?

Thanks for the help!
