Will my new license be affected by an old suspended license?

Unfortunately, you are in a grey area. Yes, Texas can and does check, but we are also in a recession so do they really have the time and money. If they check, then they will follow NC.

In Texas is the smell of pot enough to get a search warrant

It depends. The fact that you guys were in a camper creates some interesting legal questions. The reason is this: if you're in your car, and a cop smells pot, that is enough for them to search the car. If the same cop smells pot outside your house, that's not enoough to search the house. So, the answer turns on the use to which the camper is put to. The fact that there was a report of a suspicious vehicle is also a fact that goes towards a finding of probable cause. A good lawyer can file something called a Motion to Suppress, and seek to keep out any evidence they found on the basis that they did not have enough probable cause to get that warrant.
