Yes, they take all that into consideration.

Yes they can unless it is time expired. This can influence the penalty if you are found guilty

They are the ones who will process your ticket and will know all the laws and regulation. You should also ask the courts if you are allowed to take a driving school class. This will prevent your insurance from going up and points from being placed on your license. Just make sure you get the courts permission before doing so. If you don’t the courts will reject your driving school certificate. Good luck!

only if u exceeded 60 mph .

Only if it is relevant to the new charge and in this case it really is not.
If you persistently did the same thing wrong then they could use your record to hike up the penalties each time.
