You're representing yourself in a federal criminal case? Don't slip on the soap.

1. Imposible to answer without study of the facts. Prosecutors do have discretion in what charges they press. It is not without some limits.
2. The Court will usually allow a person to proceed without a lawyer. Not always. Get a lawyer or public defender.
