Hi, If I'm, not mistaken, saying one way or the other is correct-they are just variations. It is easy to understand the meaning, therefore, OK to be ignored both speaking and writing. If you look it up on the internet, you'll find both ways taking you to different sites.

Yes, it's correct: "x years of age" is a set expression meaning the same as "x years old". It can feel a bit wordy and formal; "... must be 18 or over ..." is more conversational.
