A subpoena for a witness must be served at least 5 days before trial. It's in the NJ Court Rules, at the first related source below. I found this by checking the second related source for the link to NJ Court Rules.
Yes, you can have the court issue a subpoena in a probate case. The procedure for issueing subpoenas vary from court to court across the United States and may even vary within a state from court to court. If you wish to issue a subpoena, you should check with the local Rules of Civil Procedure for the court handling the probate.
(I am not a lawyer. This is not legal advice.) The answer almost certainly depends on the rules of civil procedure for the jurisdiction in question. ...but that being said, in many cases the subpoena will need to be signed by either an attorney licensed to practice before that court, or the clerk of court. If so, you can get a blank, signed form from the clerk. Then, when you serve the subpoena, you must generally also file a copy of the subpoena and a "certificate of service" (documenting how and when you served the subpoena) with the court. This is presumably to establish a timeline, in case you need to petition the court to compel enforcement of an unanswered subpoena.

Yes, at the direction of the Court, the Court Clerk's Office CAN issue subpoeanas.
summons or subpoena.
A "subpoena duces tecum." directs an individual to come to court and directs that certain items be brought with them. A 'regular' subpoena simply directs the individual to come to court.
If you have received a subpoena you had better respond, or at the very least, call the Clerk Of the Court's office to determine if the subpoena or the case has been cancelled or changed.
