Since the testimony in the District Court is sworn testimony, if the witness testifies differently in the Circuit Court, then yes, the transcript may be used to impeach the witness.

Yes but it'd be easier to have a lawyer do it for you.

Yes, although I strongly recommend that you have an attorney represent you at Circuit Court, since there are rule associated with the introduction of evidence.
