You can appeal the matter administratively prior to the suspension and then convince the DMV to not suspend your driving privileges or to make the suspension very short.

The answer to this question depends upon your driving history. But in short, yes, they can. However, you have the right to request a hearing at DMV to try and convince them not to suspend your license. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in the past. I would like to discuss your case with you in more detail. Please contact me at your convenience. There is never any charge for simply talking to me about a case. Thank you.

No they shouldn't be able to do it, but they could do it if the Court screwed up. However, you can work your way around it. I suggest you get an attorney to review all the paperwork to see what went wrong where and fix it. Without knowing more information, I can't give you the details since there are several things that could have gone wrong.
