Definitely take the time to get the highest possible score. A 170 with your GPA could get you a full ride to Northwestern, something that becomes easier to land with a year of work experience. Above 172 and you are in a solid position for Harvard and significant scholarships at several top schools. When you're first going through this process it's hard to believe just how much impact two numbers can have, but they really do matter that much, so get those numbers up!

Definitely retake. It's really scary to go out in the world but getting work experience and studying will help you.

Re-take, get some work experience, live life.

Law school isn't going anywhere.
