Can you put an adverb clause word (because, since, although, even though) at the start of the sentence?
Yes, but you must also use commas in the middle of the sentence.
Can the word "if" go at the middle of the sentence?
Yes, but no comma should be added if that is the case?
I am walking right now.
Now, gerunds can't be used with the verb to be, this is a sentence in present progressive.
Is this infinitive correct?
I expect to be on time tomorrow if you don't want a report.
No, the pronoun "you" should be before the infinitive, since the action of expecting requires someone to be expected to do something.
