Once suppression motion is over then comes the resolution of the case. After that you should appeal instead of PCR bc you get 45 for an appeal and 5 years of PCR. If the appeal fails then do PCR. At this point of the case you'll likely need the court's permission to switch attorneys.

No it's basically a seat belt ticket but some Judges don't like to see children in car without a seat belt so the fine may be large if it's mandatory court appearance.
