My pup has slept with me (when he feels like it) - since the first night I got him. And, because he was with me, he started out sleeping 6 to 7 hours - pretty much without ever wetting. But, for sure, with the first movement from him in the morning - we went to his pee pad.
I put a belly band on him at night - just in case...and it is almost always dry in the morning.
He never fell off the bed, but I do know that's a concern. I have a low piece of furniture at the foot of my bed - and before he was three months old, he learned to get on and off the bed using that.
Good luck! You'll quickly learn that there are many ways to raise and train a little puppy. Plus all puppies are different - and somethings work best with some puppies. Choose whichever ways work best at your house.
