You have the right to cancel your application and then leave the country. The fact you previously had immigration intent will greatly increase the threshold for convincing the Federal Government (DOS) that you have nonimmigrant intent in the future.

Yes, you can withdraw your petition. You may have trouble getting a visitor visa in the future unless you maintain significant ties in your home country and can prove that you don't intend to come back and overstay a visa. Not impossible, but may present a few burdens ahead.

Yes, as my colleagues stated ... you can write CIS to withdraw the I-485 ... but it WILL impact on future non-immigrant visa applications you may apply for, such as tourist. Thus, when you go home I suggest you get a job and wait at-least 1, preferably 2 years before applying for a tourist visa.
