If a person has a DUI charge in one state that they have not been convicted of yet and then gets another DUI charge in a different state, will the DA of either state take it into consideration that they now have two DUI charges and really throw the book at them? Or would the DA only be allowed to take actual convictions into consideration?

They look at everything. Considering that one charge is still pending tells me that the charge is fairly new and another one has been acquired in a short period of time. That tells the DA that the person is a repeat offender and has not learned his lesson.

He uses anything he can. This lays the groundwork to prove you are a habitual offender. It's not personal, just his job. I am sure all tickets on your license, whether open or closed, will be on paper in the courtroom.
