They do not need a reason to pull you over as the judge will always believe any lie they tell and the police lie all the time about such matters because they do not care and will not be prosecuted by the prosecutor who sometimes wants or asks them ti lie which is subornation of perjury. It does not happen all of the time, but it is common for the police and prosecutor to lie to make things legal or constitutional. Therefore, they do not need a pretext for the stop if they lie and your lawyer may or may not win the trial or hearing. Usually the plea is to a 509-1 with a $50 fine so it is not necessary to go to trial.

No, they do not have to ticket you for the offense that they pulled you over for. They can, but often they will not and it is within their discretion. However, they will have to cite reasonable suspicion in their police report to justify pulling you over.

No, they just need probable cause to stop you.

Law enforcement officers do not have to ticket a person for the reason that they stop them in order to ticket them for something else.

No, driving while suspended is a crime in itself.
