How hard would it be to begin playing the Violin, again?

I played the Violin for two years (8-9 yrs old). I am now 19 and I want to start playing it..FYI…I was forced to quit, and I am mad about it.
Also, I do have music experience (sight reading, notes, melody, etc.) because I have been singing since I was 8 years old.
since I have music experience, how long or how difficult would it be if I took up the Violin again.

How do I avoid with my shoulder pain when I’am playing the violin?

I play the violin and at school were playing two pieces that are 4 pages each. For some reason when I’am position of playing for a long time my shoulders start to hurt really bad. If I go to rest position it stops soon but I can’t really do that in the middle of the piece.

how do I get more control over the bow when I’m playing violin?

I keep sliding the bow onto the fret board/neck or whatever it’s called, but I am holding it right. I used to play violin when I was in school, but now I haven’t played for a couple of years so I’m not really used to it anymore. I read somewhere that you aren’t supposed to look at your fingers when you’re playing, does that mean that you are supposed to look at the bow? sorry if none of this makes sense.
