Why do you want to flatten sole the quality of that plane should be well within tolerances. If sole within 3 thou or less
no need to flatten. As for mouth opening the amount it moves would not make to much difference where it is if you decide to flatten. If you do flatten make sure you do on a known flat surface like piece of granite or float glass.
The mouth is closed to the iron for finer shaving and opened for thicker shavings.
