Question 1: Is it ok if I sign (manually) Form 1040 here and then scan and email it to my mail processing agency and they can send it via post?


No, that would not be an original signature. You have to mail the form with the ink signature directly to the IRS. Note that Form 3531 says "A photocopied signature is not a valid signature." That would apply to a scanned signature as well.

Yes.

Question 3: My State return has the Federal return attached to it. Do I need to also file an amended state return with this "wet signature" Federal return attached?


No. Wait to see if you hear from the state. They don't expect an original ink signature, so you probably won't hear from them and won't have to do anything about the state.
