Those questions are answered in the newbies surely.

You present your evidence as exhibits ion your witness statement. When the date for the hearing is listed, you will also be told when you need to submit evidence you wish to rely on. This is normally not later than two weeks before the hearing. 

All this information is contained in the 12 steps in guide to court that you should be following.

YES (or email them with the reasons I gave you 4 pages back)

YOU WON'T so long as you let them know. Mediation is NOT mandatory as already explained. 

so do I really just sit back and wait for excel an thrn if it does go to court do I present evidence 

YES! As you been advised of by myself and others. You don't offer Evidence early.  

This is a slow process so you wait for the court's lead and follow each protocol as it happens.

Please remember that YOU are the one in control!  You have 2 pieces of strong evidence up your sleeve so stop worrying. Your case us stronger than most people's case we see!

I am away 7th-16th April , what happens if my court date is in that period , I told mediation so I’m presuming the N180 form will go to court and they will see I’m away

I doubt a hearing will be that quick but did you state on your N180 that you were unavailable at that time?  If so, yes the local court will see your dates.

It won't be!  As that's less than a month away. You still need to wait for their Reply To Your Defence and then after that comes the witness statement stage where both parties are given a one month window. 

A brief timeline ....
My small claims court hearing took place a year to the day of being the small claims court papers being served on me which is about average which was March 21, then the N180 forms were in May, then ot was their Eeply To Defence in August, then Witness Statement in November, date allocated in Dec, then case took place in March. So it won't be within weeks.
