You need to ask your insurance company this question. But the Pennsylvania ticket will transfer to New Jersey as two points.

For this type of ticket since it does not require movement of the car for the offense,so yes the officer can leave the ticket on the car but it would generally be mailed to you.

The answer is it depends. In general if you hire a lawyer you may be able to avoid having to appear in court. However, that rule changes when you have a mandatory court appearance ticket.
