Probably, yes. As an administrative body, the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles generally treats drunk driving/DUI charges in other states the same as they would if you were arrested and charged in Massachusetts. So if you refuse an out of state breath test, you'd be facing a suspension. If you have been convicted, you will also generally face a suspension, and will have to complete the equivalent steps to be eligible for either license reinstatement or a hardship license.

You'll have to face the charges here in Massachusetts, and you'll need to have a Massachusetts lawyer represent you. I'm sure it can be difficult to get here, especially for multiple court dates, but it will be necessary in most cases. As far as license suspension considerations, if you have an out of state license, a suspension in Massachusetts will affect your drivers license, although official notification is sometimes imperfect. Call me for details. See similar questions...

Yes. However, it's possible the state and DA prosecuting the case may not be aware of it, or may not be able to prove it. Records in these matters are often incomplete. If they offer you a deal on a first offense, they can't come back later to determine that they should have charged you with a second. But if you are arrested again in the future, is still possible that old priors can come back to haunt you. See similar questions...

There is no difference. In Massachusetts, the specific criminal legal statute refers to "Operating Under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor", or OUI for short. Different state laws call the same act "Driving Under the Influence" (DUI) or "Driving while Intoxicated" (DWI), but they all essentially mean the same thing: a drunk driving accusation.

You will still need to apply for licensure and meet their specific regulations (i.e., tests, courses, workshops) in the state where you will be seeking employment. In other states, more if often required than just applying for reciprocity. Contact the Massachusetts Department of Education at (781) 388-3300, ext. 665, for further information.

Temporary licenses are good for one year from the date of issue, and you are not required to pass the MTEL to obtain it. However, it will not be granted if you have failed the MTEL.
