Typically, the officer won't show up on the first court appearance. You will plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest. If you please not guilty, the court date will be set up for the officer to show up. The officer gets paid his regular salary to go to the court date.
The court clerk (or whoever took your money) should have asked if you wished to go to court and contest the charges, or not. If you don't appear in court, the ticket will be logged as a "no contest" plea and will show up on your license record as a conviction.
Yes, any ticket can be reduced without a lawyer. You have to go to the court date for your hearing.

Yes, appear in court, the officer who wrote the ticket must apear when you do, if there is no evidencve of speeding IE: radar gun, then you stand a good chance of having the chgarges dropped. Come with a good explanation of how you can demonstrate that you weren't speeding. Many times just appearing is enough, the officer who wrote the ticket will not be able to show up for various reasons and they will have to drop the charge, in other cases the clerk will offer downgraded charges and fines when you go in to set a court date to help keep the judges calendar free for more serious things.
