IMHO it is designed for multiple 180 day stays and it is a tourist visa. The question here is the frequency of entry and number of times per year. Yes they want long stay tourists (greater than 60 days). But I expect it will change over time considering a tourist would become a tax resident after 180. I'm sure they would prefer the tax revenue... Time will tell. Check back in a year or so.

IMHO, it is the entry requirements that could change. Nothing will affect your current 180. But policies may change to only allow 1 every every year. Will still be valid for 5 yrs.

Right now, at a time. Expect this to change when they see how many are using DTV (tourist visa) for long term stays.

Treaty of Amity is good advice. Since you went to UNLV, assuming you are probably American.

I believe it needs to come from the district where you reside. But your residence can be the last place you stayed. When I did it they wanted copy of the lease agreement along with signed copies of the landlords Id. I got certificate immediately by paying a couple hundred baht for expedited service. Don't think that's available at all offices. You need a copy of the registration of foreigner residing at the same location as the lease agreement.

I believe you can only extend 30 days before expiration. That may be why it's not letting you set an appointment.

Note that you need a residency certificate for each license (car & m/c).
