Will this affect any failure to appear holds on my license?

No. Failure to appear is not related to surcharges. Under the Failure to Appear / Failure to Pay Program, the Department may deny the renewal of a driver license if you have failed to appear for a citation or failed to satisfy a judgment ordering the payment of a fine. Your driver license may be denied renewal until the reported citations or violations are cleared and reported by the court(s) to the Department.

No action is required on your part.

What happens if I defaulted on my installment plan?

You will still owe the surcharge and will remain suspended until September 1, 2019 unless you comply with your installment agreement.

I received a notice to pay a surcharge. Is this still valid?

Will previous surcharge related suspensions be deleted from my driving history now that DRP is repealed?

No. As of September 1, 2019 the DRP is repealed which means that the program has ended. Any suspensions that resulted from surcharges while DRP was in effect will remain on your driving history.
