No doesn't matter but go for a recommendation of MOT stations.
Yes you have a certain amount of time to repair and return for a free retest confirm with the MOT place. Most won't mind at all. Yes the bike is legal to ride beware if it is deemed unsafe they won't let you ride away.This is the MOT checklist https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/449526/mot-inspection-checklist-motorcycle-vt29m.pdf to give you an idea what is looked at.

My MoT is expiring soon, on the first bike I've ever owned. Does it matter where I take it? And when I'm presented with a list of what it's failed on, can I take it home and repair them all before bringing it back? Is it legal to ride at that point? And will the garage mind that I'm not getting them to do the work? In fact, is there a list of checks that I can follow to attempt repairs before? There are some niggles, but I don't know what it can fail on.
