Yes but they can't put you back in jail for it if you served the maximum time under law.

Your obligation to pay legal financial obligations is separate from any incarceration imposed. Yes, you have a civil judgment against you for the LFOs and need to be making regular payments to avoid the judgement being turned over to collection.

You must comply with all terms of sentencing and probation/parole. If ordered to pay as part of that, pay or face a warrant. Read your sentencing report.

If you were ordered to pay costs, then yes, you are expected to pay those off. The court may be agree with a payment plan, or other alternatives, but it depends on the judge. If you fail to pay them, the court may hold you in contempt of court for failing to comply with a court-order.

Yes. Even if you converted the fines to jail, which I doubt, there are still portions that are not convertable.

It depends upon how your sentence issued by the judge reads. The fines are probably in addition to the jail times you served. Look at your sentencing order.
