"I'm young and was going through a phase." WAY too soon to say that.
"They accused me of stealing 6 months prior but I refused to take credit for it." Means nothing.
"I walked out with something $60 at a late shift. It was an accident.." That NEVER is believed.
"I was surrounded by employees and no one said a thing." Means nothing.
"The other item was a $10+ coupon I found on a counter. It was there for hours so I took it." May sound small, but your response was weak. You are supposed to ask if you can have it.
"Will they find that mishap from two years ago even though I wasn't fined and I didn't sign the papers I gave them?" If it's the same company, the odds are higher.
I think your best bet is to go to the interview, tell the truth, plead that you have matured, and DO NOT USE ONE SINGLE EXCUSE. Do not say mistake or accident. Those are death knells.
