You should consult with an attorney and be represented during the process. You can have a trial or resolve it in a different manner. Jail time will depend on several factors.

Well you want to plead not guilty, since pleading guilty right away loses you all your bargaining power. Some courts have special programs for first time offenders or you can get the matter down to a lesser charge anyway.

Yes you can, which is why you should hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.
