Yes, you can still play your villain characters. You should also be able to create new heroes AND villains if you so choose. However, if you are now a Premium character, you will need to "unlock" your characters individually.

Is there a way to look up and find your chars on the servers without going through and trying to find it by unlocking char slots?

Nope. But if a slot is empty, it's empty. Your characters should all be there on the server they were on, just kinda greyed out. If the slot says its empty, then your character isn't there.

Judging by your join date, it looks like you created a new account rather than logging back into your old one. If you log back into your original account and connect to your old server, you should see all your old characters still there. Then you just unlock the slots from your pool of global unlocks.|

Speaking of global slot unlocks, you should have two plus any you earned from veteran rewards back when you used to play. You'll be limited to these until you subscribe again or until purchase more slots from the market. These characters will be fully playable* though from levels 1-50, the only things you won't be allowed to do are incarnate content, Going Rogue content (unless you bought Going Rogue back in the day), and the invention system (unless you unlocked it via veteran rewards).
*One warning, a few AT's like Masterminds, Controllers, Kheldians, and SoA's aren't playable for free accounts unless you buy them, or in the case of MM's and 'Trollers unlock them via rewards. The game currently doesn't warn you about this. If you spend your global slot unlocks on slots with these characters, you may be unable to play them, and there is currently no way to get the slot unlocks back. You will have to either subscribe, buy more slots, or delete the character and create a new one with an AT you have already unlocked.

Welcome back to the game. 
Some time back City of Heroes and City of Villains were merged into 1 game. Hero archetypes and power sets can now be created as villains and vice versa. You can also create a character for either side now. Unfortunately there isn't a way to tell which server(s) you have created characters on without logging into a server first.
