A: Prior record would be considered - is a major factor. If you are going to pay bail, hiring an attorney may be able to save you some money and obtain a reduction to the bail, also some bail companies give an additional discount when working with some attorneys.
A: A felony charge of receiving stolen property (496 P.C.) carries a maximum of three years in jail, and is an 1170 (h) offense, meaning no prison, unless there's a prior strike offense alleged. No one serves 100% of the sentence; 50% is typical for a basic felony, without a strike.
