All the things ive listed above are the things in which I did in Federal Court I was charge with Obstruction Of Justice & One Count Of Perjury I did a Plea Agreement but in Federal Court you dont know what you are agreeing to until sentencing I believe, I went before the judge did my arraignment and she let me go until sentencing my questions to you all is when will I know what was actually offered on this plea agreement? Also if its not asking for to much can one of you great Attorneys please tell me what im most likely looking at on the federal chart? Do to me trying to do the right thing also not taking this case to trail which will cost the government alot of money! Thanks & Advance all your answers are greatly appreciated! Also do judges normally agree with the probation report & plea
These questions you need to ask your attorney. He is familiar with the facts. The Federal Sentencing Guidelines set out the advisory range of punishment, based on offense, victims, loss of money, prior history, how cooperative you might to be to further their investigation and other factors. Most Federal cases require time and then probation. But that is something you will need to discuss with your attorney.
You should hire a lawyer. The federal sentencing guidelines are difficult to calculate and take lots of time. Especially post-Padilla, where the court has some leeway, you need some one creating a mitigation case for you. That being said, you may get some point reductions (a good thing) for your cooperation.

It is hard to answer this question without all of the facts. Ask your attorney. He will have looked at the facts and the federal guidelines for punishment.
