If I have a court hearing for my 2nd DUI, will they take me straight to jail at the hearing?

Not if you have posted bail. If you are on a promise to appear, the court may or may not require you to post bail. Consult a lawyer in Sacramento.

If the DUI charge is reduced to reckless driving, should the accused include it in a job application as crime conviction?

Depends on the wording. If he got deferred, he was not convicted. Does it as if he had adult probation? If so, did he? When they run his record, it will show the DUI so generally it is better to "up" the situation because he will be asked (and if not disclosed, they may think he intentionally mislead.). It really should not matter unless his job involves driving, and he is not likely to get such a job because of potential liability and insurance reasons.

What can I expect when I return to court for a violation of probation for a DUI?

You might find that your P.O. has filed a Motion to Revoke your probation. Such a motion is not the last word, however. You would have the right to a probable cause hearing, and then, about two months later, a final hearing on revocation. There are alternatives to revocation. A good lawyer can be a tremendous help.
