1. Yes you can retire early but you will not get your UK pension until you are 60 i think depends on your age now, but if you are working abroad then that will not really matter
2. you can retire anytime you like....but you will not get a state pansion until you are 65...and even this will be affected should you move abroad before the age of 65
3. yes you can but you will get a reduced pension from the uk
4. You retire anytime you like but your state pension will not start paying out until you 65th birthday. If you start up a new business I would advise checjing what impact that'll will have on your state pension as you may be penalised in some form and may not recieve the full amout if you are in full time employment. Check the Governments works and pensions website
5. You can do what you like, but as others have said, you won't get your state pension until you are 65. The amount of any earnings will not affect your pension, but if you will be living in certain countries, you won't get the annual increase in state pension. It may be worth paying voluntary contributions (class 3) while you are abroad until you are 65 to protect your state pension. See the Pensions Service website for details.
