You would have to exit Oman before returning on your new employment visa.

But if you have an NoC from your former employer you can do a visa transfer from your former sponsor to the new one.

However please be informed that Immigration rules keep changing almost unfailingly on a weekly basis. So better get the latest update confirmed by your company PRO or from the Directorate General of Immigration and Civil Status.

Best of luck.

No.

NoC is applicable only for salaried employees planning on shifting jobs within the Sultanate.

Yes.

You have to exit Oman and re-enter with your employment visa.
