Of course, we still need to deal with $[0,\theta)$, but this is not problem: the difference $\theta-0=\theta.$ can be made as little as wanted.

Now, not going with the hint is much simpler and shorter, but perhaps you guys haven't yet studied this: f is Riemann integrable there since it is bounded and the set of points of discontinuities of f in [0,1] (which is one single point) has (Borel-Lebesgue) measure zero.

3. As seen above is the graph of the function that has to be proven, it is riemann integrable. So this is how i answered. Please let me know if it is correct --
