Yes, you should plait your horse's mane and tail for lower level dressage. Grooming your horse and plaiting up shows respect to the judges. In higher level dressage, you may not need to, although you should always check with your instructor and the rules of the show. You will see if you watch videos of high level dressage test horses are unplaited and unbraided.
No dressage is not timed
it is a dressage move

There are no "dressage horses" but some breeds are used for dressage more than others,, e.g. you would probably use a warmblood rather than a cob. But basically, a dressage horse is a horse that does dressage :)
No, Classical Dressage and Dressage does not have an age limit. I've heard of one Olympic Dressage rider who still performs in his 80s! So you can have Classical Dressage or Dressage as a career as long as you are healthy and physically fit.
