Question:

  1. Is it possible to stay within USA until the vaidity of I-94 on approved I-797 with newly renewed passport (without active/current visa stamp) or the only option is to get visa stamped on newly renewed passport?

You can stay in US until the validity of I-94 mentioned in I-797. When you go out of US next time, you will need a stamped visa to enter US.
