Yes, depending on what the warrant is for.

Warrants usually state exactly what the extradition criteria are. Even if they don't, the agency that issued the warrant is called and they will advise the arresting officers as to whether or not the person with the warrant is to be extradited. Usually, this information can be obtained while the officer is still in the field with the subject. If the officer is advised that extradition is authorized, then the subject will be arrested and taken to the station until transport can be arranged. If no answer as to extradition can be found at the time, the subject will likely be arrested and detained at the station until the question of extradition is settled.
In most cases, the cost of extraditing a person to the jurisdiction of the issuing agency will be paid by that agency. Therefore, if the crime the subject is wanted for is serious enough, or if the agency has money to blow, they may authorize extradition in any of the 50 states. Or they could authorize extradition only in adjacent counties, adjacent states, or limit extradition to only the county in which the warrant was issued.
If the subject really pi$$es off an arresting officer, the officer can help things along. For example, if extradition is only authorized within adjacent counties, and a subject is arrested in such a county, the officer has every right to drive that person to the county line and drop him or her off to an officer there. In other words, don't be a jerk if you have a warrant.
If an officer stops someone, finds out that they have a warrant, and determine that the person is not extraditable, then that officer will need to have probable cause to arrest that subject for any crime before he can be arrested. Depending on the circumstances, the officer may be able to use that warrant to devolope probable cause. For example, if he is looking for someone who just robbed a liquor store, and the officer stops you, runs record checks on you, and finds that you have a warrant for previously robbing a liquor store somewhere else, that would really add to his probable cause. If the warrant was for an unpaid parking ticket, then it would be fairly unlikely that the officer could use that to explain why he felt you might have been involved in robbing a liquor store.

Yes, they can "Hold" you until they find out whether the neighboring state wants to come and get you. If the warrant is for something considered a small crime (unpaid traffic tickets or such) the neighboring state officials may decide to give you a court date over the phone. If it is for something more serious they may come after you. I do not know which states, but I have heard that there is a time limit imposed on the neighboring state to come after you - if they don't show you would be released. Best case scenario - take care of the warrant before this happens to you. You would be in a better situation with the court if you willingly took care of this than if they have to hunt you down. Doesn't that make better sense?

Definitely yes they can. If the state has extradition limits the state with the warrant may not want to go to another state to get you however, depends on what the warrant is for, but they can still arrest you.

Not necessarily. Most states do not extradite for a misdemeanor. So depending on what your warrant is for will determine if they will arrest you. Also if you were to get pulled over or have any other run in with the police that made them run your SS# it would show up that you have a warrant if they run you in NCIC. If they only run you in their state system then it will not show. Also in NCIC it will show what the warrant is for and if the state is wanting to extradite you. So they do not have to arrest you to find out. They will know right then and there.

If it is a misdemeanor warrant, probably not. Most states only extradite within a small area of their city for misdemeanors. It just depends on what the warrant is for. If it's a felony warrant depending on the state and the charge they still might not extradite.

Yes they can. It may also depend on the seriousness of the offense. Whether or not that City, State, or County wants to spend the time and money to extradite you.

Depends upon the type of charges that the warrant is for and what the laws for expedition are within the state you are pulled over in.

Sadly, I disagree...even in our post 9/11 world. I doubt it is true. If it is a state touching your state...maybe; but if it is across the country and for parking tickets or something that is a misdemeanor nope...even a felony is doubtful. Good grief, there are states not issuing Amber Alerts right now on kidnapped children...there is no consistency and very little evidence of cooperation among the states...
