How is one granted a motion of continuance for a pretrial conference?
Pre-Trial conferences are generally not THAT legally constrained. Giving good reason why, simply ask the other side if the conference can be set off to a later date. If the pre-trial conference was ordered by the court to take place on a specific date - submit a motion to the judge who ordered it, and (as above) give good reason why.

Can a defendant file a motion to continue before pretrial?
No. A PRE-trial hearing implies that the case has not yet been presented to court for trial. Therefore there is nothing on which a "motion" may be made. You may "request" a postponement of the hearing (providing you can present good cause for the request) but there are laws granting "speedy trial," and it may not be granted.
What if the defendant does not attend a Pretrial Conference?
Practically speaking, nothing will happen, except the court might sanction the missing attorney with an order to pay the other attorney for his time spent unnecessarily coming to court and wasting his time. Since the pre-trial conference usually does nothing of a substantive nature regarding the claims of the parties, the court will most like neither dismiss the complaint nor suppress the answer, but will simply reschedule the pre-trial conference.
What does motion for withdraw of counsel mean?
This is a perfect stall tactic for defendants when using a public defender. Draw the case out as much as possible with settlement conferences, pretrial conferences, status conferences.... good for about a year of free time on bail... then a week before your trial fire your attorney... good for another 6-8 months of freedom
Can you be compensated for time spent in pretrial detention?
Compensated in what way? Most judges will factor pretrial detention time into your sentence and credit it as 'good time' already served. If your case is dismissed, you're acquited, or are found not guilty, there will be no "compensation" paid to you.
