Yes, stealing is against the law. If you're caught you go to jail, and probably pay a big fine too.

The answer is yes. it would depend on the severity of the crime, the nature of the crime and the persons criminal history, but most states do have sentences for larceny. Check you state website or local law enforcement web site to findout what your laws are. Ther is usually a codified law online for each state and can be referenced to find out the specifics. This is a good resource: http://findlaw.com/11stategov/

It depends on how much you take and if you pay back restitution before you go back to court for sentencing. You could get jail time depends on the amount that was stolen. Or you can get a year with all suspended with say 3 years probation and a year to pay back the amount that was stolen.
