S corp status terminated when sold to Partnership. A partnership is not an eligible S shareholder. 

Yes you will have a short year S corp return, followed by a c corp return.

Not so sure about the C having a fiscal year. Research the rules on permitted tax year/accounting period.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
