Yes, a District Court prosecutor can add a misdemeanor charge to a felony charge in the same case, as long as the facts support both charges. This can provide the prosecutor with more flexibility in seeking a conviction or plea deal.
You should talk to a lawyer. Each state and even each court has different rules for what they will allow to go into a diversion program, and when they will allow it. Some only allow minors, some allow diversion only for a first charge, some allow diversion more than once. You need to talk to your lawyer and find out whether your case is eligible for diversion.

Yes
Not clear what is being asked. The "formal charge." (??)
If they found whatever it was they were looking for, they will put it together with the any other evidence - present it to the prosecutor to determine if they have a prosecutable case. If the prosecutor feels that they have enough to charge you, you will then be charged.
I don't know what jurisdiction (state or city) you're in, so I can't answer positively. You really should check with your local court, prosecutor, or law enforcement office. In other words, check with whatever branch of government you received the information stating "rejected" or "discharged" from. But, going with standard legal knowledge, this applies to a criminal case and "rejected" would mean that the local prosecutor's office feels as though there is insufficient evidence for a conviction, which means that they have rejected the case (refused to prosecute, in other words) due to insufficient evidence. On the other hand, "discharged" could apply to either the charge itself or the defendant. If it applies to the charge, it would mean the same as "rejected," above. However, if it applies to the defendant or arrestee (person arrested), it could simply mean that the person was released from jail after arrest, but not necessarily that the charge(s) have been dropped. Now, in the case of a charge that the prosecutor's office refuses to prosecute, whether or not the case could be reinstated and prosecuted at a later date based on additional evidence that may be obtained later is again unknown because it varies in different jurisdictions. Again, that's something you should either ask your local court, local prosecutor, or your local law enforcement officers. But don't be afraid to pick up the phone, call the right people and ask the same question you posted here. The law is public information and everyone is entitled to it.
I'm not totally sure, but I don't believe that there is one. Technically you are a free person and without charge. But, if/when the prosecutor once again has sufficient information to charge you, he may do so. Best thing - have your attorney petition the court to have the charge totally dismissed for "Want of Prosecutiron.'
in the state of Oregon, a DUI will stay on your driving record for life. If you do complete a diversion, the charge will be dismissed but the arrest will still stay on your record.
most likely you will have to have the charge expunged, which is done by a lawyer........
Yes, though this is at discretion of the Prosecutor and Judge. Such as, you may be facing Capital Murder, instead of getting the death penalty you might be asked to plead guilty to 2nd Degree Murder and receive life without parole.
This sounds like words and phraseology taken from a court file or a disposition sheet which are typically written quickly in a kind of 'shorthand' or a short, brief, and terse fashion, which follows no legal formula.That being said, THIS is how I would interpret it: The court action against the defendant was disposed of (ended/cut short/concluded) because the Prosecutor Nolle Prossed(declined to prosecute) the charge in exchange for the defendant accepting an "alternative" type of remedial action (diversion).
