Depends on your local States Attorney Office and their policy. Generally the Statute of Limitations is two years.

Can this DUI be dropped from her record? Would she have to name names ? Is there any legal precedence? Is the DUI actually hidden?

A DUI cannot be expunged from your record and will stay on your permanent criminal record for ever. Unfortunately the reason for driving is not an element of the charge. The charge of DUI involves (1) driving on the roads of this state (2) consumed alcohol or controlled substances (3) normal faculties impaired or BAC >.08.  The reason for driving is not an element of the charge, nor is it a defense. If your friend was being harassed, she could have called the police, a taxi, or a friend to pick her up.  While the above may not be what you wanted to hear, it is the law. I believe in telling it like it is.

Do I need a lawyer if I wasnt legitimately arrested?

You may need a DUI lawyer, even if not arrested (I'm not sure why they didn't arrest you at the time?) because the State Attorney can still file charges once they receive the police incident report. The ten day notice is for an administrative hearing on the license suspension. You should talk with a lawyer about the ten day hearing and do not drive until you have a proper license. Your license is suspended and if you are caught driving it is a criminal offense and a trip to jail.
