Parent subsidiary tax question

I have an LLC that only does online sales like Amazon and Poshmark. I am about to start a new LLC that does litter pick up for commercial properties . I want to make my current LLC the soul managing member of my new LLC.. My question is can I pay my self directly from the subsidiary? Or do I need to pay the owning LLC first. Then pay me through that? Would the income be double taxed once as income for the subsidiary second as income for the parent company?

What should I do with left over money from S Corp?

The left over money from the S-corp after payroll and expenses is roughly 25% Do I file 1120S & Sch K1 and move the money into my personal bank account and call it Distributions? If I need money for my business account do I move it back and call it Capital Contributions? or do I leave the money there and pay taxes and call it Retained Earnings? What's the best practice here?

3 years unfiled - how to most efficiently pay

I haven't filed for 20 - 21 - 22. I have them ready to send. I owe about $2,000 - $3,000 - $1,300 respectively. Should I write one check and send all 3 in one envelope? Should I send them individually with individual checks? How (and should) I estimate my penalties and include that in the check(s)? What is the best way to try to beg mercy and what will get them processed the most quickly?
