Answer 1

The internal field name of Approval Status is _ModerationStatus. The value 0 equals Approved.

Try something like below:

Uri:
_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('<ListName>')/items(<ItemID>)/validateUpdateListItem

Body:

    {
    "formValues":[
    {
        "FieldName": "_ModerationStatus",
            "FieldValue": "0"
    }
    ],
    "bNewDocumentUpdate": false
    }
