You will be charged. However, at your second appearance in court your attorney can review all the evidence and tell you your chances of being convicted.

Yes since the porch is open and anyone could have put it there. Attack the CI in court. Get a good lawyer.

Yes, it is possible. If a jury believes you over the CI, you should win. Do not talk to the police and hire a lawyer to help you.

In general, yes. You need a good lawyer, though. Your lawyer will determine if there are any connections to you such as fingerprints; testimony of others that say you possessed the drugs; testimony of others who say that this is the way you do business; can you take and pass a drug test; etc.? The veracity of the snitch will need to be investigated.
