What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama

So here is my situation. I got a DUI my senior year of college and was to broke at the time to pay off the fine.

Now I am living in South Florida and working. I am still pretty broke but I need to get my license back and get these tickets paid off. Is there any way I can just pay off the ticket or am I going to be forced to make an appearance in court? And if/when I do have to go to court there, will any probation/ required classes or community service be transferable down to my current city?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Which means (presumably) that you have an outstanding arrest warrant in Alabama??
And since Alabama and Florida are both members of the Drivers License Compact, your outstanding DUI suspension will follow you to wherever you are.

You are going to have to make an appearance in Alabama and resolve your legal problems there before you can do anything.

And if/when I do have to go to court there, will any probation/ required classes or community service be transferable down to my current city?
No one can guess.... especially since we have no idea of your current status. Contact the Alabama court and see what you need to do.
