I certainly understand your concern. If he was on probation and picked up a new charge, he would be in violation of his probation. Once his probation officer finds out, they will likely violate him, have a warrant issued for his arrest and hold him in jail. Moreover, he will have to answer to the new charge as well and the VOP. They only way they will be combined, is if he resolves both cases at the same time. Defendants also do this, if it is in their best interest, based upon a plea deal that can be worked out with the State, paired with no valid legal defenses to present. While he can certainly ask to be placed back on house arrest and have his probation reinstated, it is highly unlikely for a felony DUI w/ bodily injury, that this is going to happen. However, it is possible that the attorney can get the charge amended to a misdemeanor DUI, if his father did not suffer any bodily injury. If so, this would be better for his case and a chance to stay on house arrest, but it will be an up hill battle. He may want to fight the DUI case. If he does this and wins, he would still have to answer to the VOP, which has a much lower burden, so he could lose that, have his probation revoked and be sent to jail/prison. An attorney needs to look over the facts of the case and see what defenses he may have and the best way to handle this. It is possible that he may be held in jail, until this is resolved. I know this is not what you want to hear but I would rather be up front and honest with you rather then mislead you.

Its at the discretion of the Judge, who has the final say. The Judge can either reinstate his bond or keep it revoked. He can certainly bring the issue up with his attorney, who can use that as a mitigating factor for his release, but there is no guarantee. Thank you for allowing me to answer your questions.
