No, that's pretty automatic to get credit for the time served. But to negotiate the deal, you absolutely will need an attorney.

Unclear what you are asking. If you got a jail sentence, then you will serve your sentence getting 2 for 1 (or possibly 3 for 1 credit). If you are on probation and want off, you need to hire a lawyer. If you owe fees, then turn yourself in. In Harris County they give $100 credit for each day served.
