I'm not sure at what age it stops being worth trying, but it's definitely a loooong way off yet. There isn't really a hard cut-off point, your ability to learn new things slowly worsens as you get older (from about 25 onwards) but it does so at different rates with different people.
Is there anyone you know that could teach you, rather than hiring an instructor? It'd be worth having a few professional lessons before your test to make sure you're up to scratch, but until then it would be better to learn with someone you're comfortable with so that you can concentrate on learning the basics of driving without additional sources of stress and anxiety.

When did that happen? I don't know anyone who's ever owned an automatic. I thought it was only in the US that they were prevalent.
Don't learn in an automatic. Learn and take your test in a manual. After that, you can drive automatics if you want, but they aren't nearly ubiquitous enough yet that it isn't worth having the choice.
