There is a timeline... God's interactions with us would intersect with a given point in time, since god can comprehend out linear experience of time he knows where in this dimension his actions will take place. Therefore he knows what he is going to do, when and where, even though time is not linear for him.
If he knows what he is going to do at any given moment then he cannot do something else, if he does then he did not know what he was going to do.

No, i am assuming he experiences time as a singular just as you are.
Quote:If God is timeless then his mind exists in all time at once/ He knows all things at all time at once. He cannot change his mind because his mind would exist at an end state of knowledge. Hence all knowing.
If his mind exists at an "end state" of time then he has a past, this is incompatible with your previous statements.
Quote:Changing his mind is not something a timeless God would ever need to do. Therefore it doesn't challenge his omnipotence.
No, but just because he wouldn't need to do it does not mean he can. I do not need to go to the moon, but that does not mean that i can if i did need to, my need for going to the moon is unrelated to my ability to do so.
Likewise, God's lack of need to change his mind is unrelated to his lack of ability to do so.
