3. No, because I'll be at my polling place from 5 am to whenever the count is done. Probably 10-11 pm.

Presumably it'll be at the church around the corner or the school up the street. In either case even my most infirm neighbor is capable of waking over.

In my state we have permanent absentee ballot options- while polling places in this county are accessible and outfitted with all sorts of special equipment for people with disabilities, in my experience as a poll worker few people who require assistance vote at the polling place. Why on earth would they if they can vote from home and take as long as they need?

If your area has a similar option maybe you should offer to help your neighbor register absentee.
