Yes they will probably either send you a letter or get a warrant.

It would be unusual but it could happen. You can always be charged as long as it is within the statute of limitations.

This happens all the time. The police file the report with the prosecutor's office. The lab probably took your blood and it was over the limit. It takes weeks to make it through the system, sometimes more. Then they send you your notice to appear for the DUI. (OWI) You should still get an attorney.

You can, and probably will be cited for DUI. Speak with no one until you have discussed this with legal counsel.

Yes you could still be charged if the prosecutor issues a complaint and warrant. Check your mail and with the Court.

Yes, that would be the likely scenario. A warrant would come in the mail or the police will contact you. Get an attorney and say nothing to the police.
