Would the fact that he was a 3rd time offender in the NFL (codeine and weed), failed 3 test for herb in college, has a recent DWI under his belt change anything? Does the college stuff and DWI come into play any?

Not at all.

He's not challenging the NFL's right to reprimand him for a failed test. He would be arguing that he did not fail a test or that the failed test was invalid.

Of course not. This isn't a criminal case.

It comes down to NFL rules versus Ohio state law.

I personally think Ohio state law wins, therefore Gordon will win.

Of course. But I understand he was under a threshold that meant he probably didn't smoke at all anyway. The repeat offender thing would definitely come into play in the overall scheme of things.
