Technically, your citizenship can always be denied whether you have a criminal history or not because it is a discretionary decision. That being said, I doubt that these tickets would cause too bad of an inference for the moral character considerations. If there is more to the story, however, you will want to speak to an attorney BEFORE you apply for naturalization and discuss renewing your green card instead.

It’s unlikely. One of the requirement for citizenship is that the applicant show good moral character for five years prior to applying for citizenship—three if married to a USC. Driving with a suspended license shouldn’t be considered a lack of good moral character, especially if it is the only thing. There are other issues you mention, and while none in and of itself is a good moral character issue, taken in the aggregate an adjudicator could determine that you lack GMC. Your best bet is to talk with an immigration attorney and bring information on all citations, including the dates they occurred.
