For a Public Intoxication charge the officer is not required to administer a Breathalyzer test. they may rely on their own observations to determine probable cause for arrest, such as stumbling, slurred speech, or other acts. Of course, those observations are subject to scrutiny in court, and especially a jury trial, where your lawyer can ask about the lack of Breathalyzer use, but it is only one fact to be considered. I would be happy to speak with you concerning your arrest and set up a free phone consultation

Yes. None of those (i.e. breath/blood/FST) is a prerequisite to a conviction for DWI. All the State must convince the jury of is that you had lost the normal use of your mental or physical faculties, by reason of the introduction of alcohol, drugs, or some combination. Usually a case like this would be based on the driving facts (e.g. a car wreck or other bad driving facts observed by a witness) or observations made by the police officer. A good defense lawyer will have an argument for every little b/s thing they try to come up with. Ultimately, it's up to the jury, though.
