There is no expungment stature in New York state. You can make a 440.10 motion to vacate it if it was illegal or improper or if you did not have a lawyer.

Any offense involving driving is non-expungable. Sorry. It stays forever on your record.

Unfortunately the answer is no. Any driving offense, including DUIs can never be expunged. However, if it is 17 years old, you should be able to minimize it with the passage of time. Employers usually only inquire about felonies and rarely go past 10 years.

Not easily, but at 17 yrs old with no additional charges it is probably irrelevant for most purposes.

No DUI can't be expunged or vacated.

The only type of DUI that can be expunged from your record is a first-time misdemeanor DUI after 10 years have passed with no other misdemeanors or felonies on your record.

Yes. A DUI has a 10 year waiting period. Assuming you are not ineligible on other grounds, you should be able to get that off your record.

Yes. Contact a lawyer about expungement.
