Short answer: Yes, they can use anything against you. Not all prior offenses MUST be used against you, but all of the can. Whether it is the policy to use such old events is largely dependent on the poicy of the particular county's State Attorney's Office. You should hire a lawyer who is familiar with your particular county. 

It depends where you are charged as to whether you have the right to see the police report. If a municipal charge, then it is up to the judge whether he will permit you to see it. If it is a State court charge or county charge, you have the right to see it. No matter where you are you need to make a request in writing. Fines and costs and other consequences of DWI depend on many factors. You should hire an attorney as the consequences are significant no matter what the circumstances. Legal fees for DWI range from $500 to $10,000 depending on the circumstances and whether you have prior DWI or alcohol offenses. I would be suspect of any fee quoted in the low range, as you get what you pay for.
