Of the three options that you offer, I'd say that #1 is the best. However, I'd suggest this as better yet:

Worst of all, creation of a new node will return NULL when memory is full.

Two things in particular to note:

The adjunct clause when memory is full reads best at the end of the sentence. Trying to put it earlier requires that you set it off with commas, which reads awkwardly.
Beginning with And the worst is not exactly incorrect, but it is more idiomatic to say Worst of all.
