I’m on probation for a DUI I don’t have to report to a PO can I travel outside the US?

DUI/DWI lawyer at Mark A. Manning, P.C.
If you are still under probation, you must comply with all the terms of your probation. Reporting to a probation officer may be satisfied, but the other conditions of probation would continue. Read your conditions of probation very carefully. Standard provisions usually are you do not go into a bar or tavern or places that serve alcohol, leave the State (which would include a trip to Mexico). The good news is I have found most probation offices are pretty good to work with regarding out of State travel, particularly for lower level crimes. Contact your probation officer, explain the trip to them and if you conditions of probation need to be amended to allow your trip ask that they please do so in writing and send a confirmation that the Court will amend the condition.

How can they use the results from a preliminary breath test and never administer a blood alcohol test at a hospital?

You must have given a datamaster test at the jail. They can use those results and charge you with OWI. On the back of your refusal it states that you can within 14 days send a letter to the DAAD/AHS for a hearing on the PBT refusal. If the officer shows, you will probably lose. If the officer does not show, you will not lose your license. If the officer shows, you can go to Circuit Court and ask for a hardship license. They are not required by law to take you to a hospital if you took the datamaster test at the jail. You could have asked to be taken to the hospital, at your own expense, for a blood test. Hire an attorney or take a court appointed one because you will need one; however a court appointed attorney will not go to Circuit Court for a hardship license and it is too complicated to do it yourself.

If I got a DUI about 15 yrs ago, is that considered a 'Misdemeanor" or "Felony"?

It isn't considered anything without knowing the conviction charges. With an accident it would likely have been a felony. Otherwise a misdemeanor.
