Answer 1

They usually don't reduce bail at all ... the choice is usually 1)  Pay the whole bail amount out of pocket, 2)  Use a bail bondsman to post the bail and pay them a non-refundable fee and put up collateral for the bail, or 3)  Sit in jail until your trial.

Sorry, I've never heard of bail that goes down based on how much time you sit in jail waiting for a trial.  On the plus side, that time in jail usually counts toward any sentence you are given.  Some defendants are convicted, sentenced to "time served" and released from custody!
