For older recruits more time is given for the run and less push ups and sit ups are required to pass compared to those who are younger.

These are the standards for your age group:

When do you find out if you're advance to e-2 by completing the above?

[FutureND]

They will tell you towards the end of bootcamp.

For the PFA part of the advancement, what scoreline do you have to fall under or do you just have to get better than Satisfactory. Ive gotten multiple answers to this question and would really like to know the RIGHT answer so I will know where I need to be physically before going in. So pretty much do I need to score Good, Excellent, Outstanding, Max????

The requirement is that you pass. A "pass" is a satisfactory or better.

[LT Guppy]

A Sat score will suffice. However, at some commands, if you get a Sat score, you will be placed in FEP, and be required to go to command PT before or after work until you can pass with at least a Good.

Okay if one were to be promoted to e-2 this way is it possible to make e-3?

^ This... however, your initial PFA is going to be done at 0430 or 0530, after at least a week of no exercise, and likely right in the middle of the inevitable illness you're going to catch during P-Days. So, if you show up at RTC only able to make Satisfactory scores, you're probably not going to pass your initial PFA... you need to give yourself room for error.

If I'm going coming in as an E-3 (thanks to already having a degree) does passing the dep PQS and fitness the first time make a difference to pay during boot?

It wasn't had at all. I did not exercise before BC at all and passed my PFA. I did not study my DEP guide except for the sailor's creed and 11 general orders. I wish i did study more. Got promoted anyway.

Things to know:
Rank recognition.
11 General Orders
Navy slang.

These things are expected to be known perfectly. And yes, chain of command.

Maybe somebody will fill me out since it was almost a year ago.
