The country escaped to would be to India and this person burned down a restaurant. Can he be brought back to the States to trial?

What if the person is also a murder suspect?

The term you are looking for is "extradition", not evicted, and it depends. First off, it has to be against his probation for him to have left the country (which it most likely is). Sometimes probation officers will give permission for people to leave the country under exigent circumstances.
It also depends on the country. Countries like Mexico do not allow bounty hunters, so in order for him to be brought back a government agency would have to issue a criminal warrant, agree to pay for extradition from Mexico, and get the full cooperation of the Mexican government to pick him up. There are a lot of variables that can make this a very difficult and drawn out process.
So, unless the arson charge was extremely serious (i.e. someone died as a result of it), he probably wouldn't be extradited, unless it was from a country that was very cooperative or the local probation officer/law enforcement agency was very determined to get him back. It is an unfortunate side of law enforcement, but agencies have very limited resources and must pick and choose their fights, so to speak. If this arson case isn't serious, they may have to let it slide for a while until he comes back into the country, then prosecute.

You first described it as 'leaving' the country and then updated it to 'escape' the country, so it's presumed you mean that the probationer intends to leave this coutnry permanantly, knowing it's in violation of his/her probation, and you're wondering if there could a future down-side, like extradition. Though I don't know if we have extradition treaties with India, I am aware that many people who flee to other coutries under circumstances you described, occassionally find themselves back on U.S. soil, in jail, as a result of some pretty creative means.
And then again, law enforcement may feel blessed that the offender fled to another country and that person is now the problem of that other country...and if the person ever decides to return to the U.S. the active warrant will snag him/her at the entry point/port.

the chances of this person being extradited from India is very small. Most jurisdictions would issue a warrant and if the person ever returned to the U.S. they would be arrested. Presuming they never intend to come back they probably have gotten away with whatever they committed.

If it is discovered that the person left the country without permission from the proper authorities there can be consequences. If no one knows and you come back probably nothing will happen

Unless he got written permission from his PO, he can have a warrant issued and be extradited back to the US for trial.

It'll probably be a violation of the terms of probation, unless they had permission. But I doubt that he did.

If the prosecutor is really interested in him, they'll go find him.
