That depends upon what you're charged with.  I'll presume the charge is simple solicitation, since that is the most common charge.

The prosecutor will have to prove that you asked another person to perform a lewd act for compensation.  

Assuming the police can prove you were the one who made the request, not using your real name doesn't help you.  In fact, it hurts you because it shows you knew you were doing something you shouldn't have done.  Ditto for not using your cell phone.

You obviously did more than just park at the complex.  Many other people must park there every day without being arrested.  You most likely called or emailed the provider to arrange your appointment and the police probably know about this communication.  You may think the police know of nothing else you did, but you're probably wrong.

Yes.  Many people believe you can't be prosecuted unless you were arrested, but that's not how it works.  

Arresting people takes time and effort, which misdemeanor offenses seldom justify.  Prosecutors decide later whether to charge someone based upon the evidence of his guilt.  Whether there was an arrest has nothing to do with the decision.
