I have created a new design template and don't wish to retype or copy over
all old presentations. Can I insert the new design template and apply to
existing presentations?

Sure can. The easiest way is to open the file (not sure if you saved it as
a .pot or .ppt). Click "File", "Save as", click the "save as type" dropdown
and select the "Design Template" option. This will automatically change
your folder location to the one needed to find this new template. Save it
to that folder. Close it out, open up your presentation you want to change,
click "Format', "Slide Design", and scroll down through your templates until
you find your new design and select it.

Holler back if you have problems.
