Are you wanting them to be a consistent 6mm everywhere? Since none of the letters are the same width you really need to redraw them from scratch. I would do this by drawing every stroke as 6mm using the stroke tool and once you are happy with the results you can then convert to a shape
yes there are many advantages to linking but what typically happens is designers forget to also include the image. I get files all the time with missing links. They send the illustrator file but not the linked images and i get errors looking for that image
That is how illustrator is set up. If i draw a yellow square, every square, circle etc will have the same fill. You don't have to change it every time. I pointed that out with the sample above of a bunch of non filled stroked boxes. It will keep doing this until you change the fill/stroke and...

I have a file I am trying to typeset to match and the above font is a match. But when I load it on my computer, in Illustrator it shows as Chinese lettering and defaults to Myriad. How do you get the wording to type out in English...
Most likely hand lettered. I have done hundreds of letters for a company that does reproductions of old trains/engines and they were all hand painted using stencils. I have never run across an actual font on any of them
