It's impossible to know how old Shakespeare was when he wrote any of the sonnets. All we know is that they were written before they were published in 1609 when he was 45. Two of them, numbers 138 and 144 were published in 1599, ten years earlier. This will give some idea of the period of time Shakespeare wrote them.

We do not know because we don't know when he wrote it. It must have been before 1595 when he wrote Romeo and Juliet's prologue in sonnet form. Two of his stand-alone sonnets were published in 1597. Of course he might have written them years earlier--we don't know. It's safe to say he wrote his first sonnet before he was 30 (in 1594).

The themes of Sonnet 18 and Sonnet 73?
well, i dont know about 18, but the theme of sonnet 73 is mortality, and death and old age. Shakespeare is not talking about literal death, but the death of his creative nature, which is what his friendship with the young man is based on. Shaksepeare uses many metaphors to explain his point, and he is not mourning his physical death, but the death of his poems, creativity and such, which to him is a much greater loss
