Answer 1

The youngest age that you can drive in New York is 15-16. To drive alone during daylight hours and night hours is 17, but you you're restricted to be out be 1 am. To drive without limits you'll have to be older than 21.

If you take driving lessons than you might learn more deatils and things which regular drivers wouln't known. This enhances you driving.

Answer 2

You can drive alone in Westchester at 17, if you have a junior license, take a driver's ed course, and trade it in for a senior license.

This is from the NY State DMV  Lerner's Permit Brochure:

"If you are age 17, you are eligible for a senior driver license (Class D or M) if you have a junior driver license or limited junior driver license and have completed a state-approved high school or college driver education course. To convert your junior license to a senior license, bring your junior license and the  Student Certificate of Completion (MV-285) that you received from your instructor to any motor vehicle office. You must surrender your certificate and junior license to receive the senior license. If you do not convert your junior license to a senior license, you are subject to the restrictions for junior drivers until you are age 18, even if you carry the completion certificate with you. You may also give your certificate with your junior permit to the license examiner at your road test.  You will automatically receive a senior license when you are eligible."

Hope this helps you out.
