Yes, you can be charged with DUI, further when you failed to provide a sample of your blood or breath you are likely to be prosecuted for "refusal." You must be lawfully arrested in order to trigger the "implied consent" law which would require you to submit to chemical testing. You may have defenses to the DUI including the fact that you weren't driving, the prosecution has to demonstrate driving, frequently they proceed with circumstantial evidence which may, or may not, be persuasive to a jury.

That can happen. Typically on a DUI plea or conviction the Court orders that the car the defendant was driving be impounded for ten days as that is required under the law.
