What would happen if he used the Philosopher's Stone on Voldemort's transfigured form? I guess the transfiguration would become irreversible.

He wants to figure out how to restore Quirrel, but is the risk of accidentally releasing Voldemort worth it?

People have speculated that making the transfiguration permanent would risk activating the Horcrux network.

I wondered the same thing, But couldn't he also later use the stone to reverse it by re-transfiguring it to Voldemort's body?

You can't transfigure (via free transfiguration) anything into a target you don't understand completely. Otherwise it will be just an imitation.
