You would have to go to a US accredited institution for a Bachelors and then apply to medical school 8 years plus residency.

I am unsure to be honest. If you apply as an international applicant they may be able to use your old degree, however in all liklihood you will need to complete a BS prior to matriculation if you plan to apply as a regular applicant

To answer in short, your foreign degree would be acceptable for some schools if you can get some coursework in the US. For detail, you can see the above link posted by Dullhead.
How about your citizenship status?
I can't make any comment on age, but I've seen many applicants around your age here.

@Jumai, in the future, before you have to take the Mcat, make sure you hire a tutor for the verbal section (practice, practice, and practice). English is my first language and my reading comprehension sucks.
