It depends. Phone tips about drivers can be enough to pull you over, but it depends on how specific the information coupled with the officer's observations. You will need an experienced DUI attorney to review the case file to give you a better answer.

Possibly. Needs to have seen some driving concerns and have more information. You need a lawyer.

What charge? Generally there is nothing improper about pulling over a person who has been reported and identified by a fellow motorist.

There are too many factors you do not mention for anyone to give you a responsible answer. If the only facts that matter are that another driver saw you swerve, you could very well lose. But there are too few facts to make any useful predictions.

Possibly. You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.

Tip cases can be won. You should contact an experienced DUI lawyer to discuss the facts of the case, possible defenses including a motion to suppress (where the Prosecutor Must put on the evidence supporting the constitutionality of the stop) and the probable outcomes.
