You are on a multi-state list of drivers with suspended licenses. Most states will not issue you a new license until your old state has released you from the suspension. Whether the old state will allow you to take a DUI course out-of-state is up to them.
There is a lot of stuff on this online. Google
Whatever you do, don't take the advice of the guy who said to apply without saying anything. I believe all states ask whether your license is suspended elsewhere. To lie about it opens you up to nasty things.
According to MADD, 50-70% of suspended drivers drive anyway. Don't do it -- your insurance is void if you do.

Was your license suspended? If so, I don't think you can apply for one in a different state. In fact, the applications I've seen ask you explicitly if you have a suspended license in another state.
However, if your license wasn't suspended, you can apply.
The law from your other state won't come after you, but you might have a problem if you get pulled over in that state again some time in the future. (of course, I'm not a lawyer, so don't hold me to that. I had a friend with unpaid tickets in a different state, and she never had any trouble).
As for the AA program, that's really something you should do because you want to quit drinking, not because the law is hanging over your head.

There's only one way to find out and that is to apply for a driver's license. If there is one in your new state, you should enter the AA program anyway.

in order to get a driver's license in your new state you will have to comply w/all requirements of the state that suspended your license
as for the aa program in the new state--check w/the court out of which you were sentenced by calling the clerk of courts

I would suggest completing a program as similar to the one you were sentenced to complete in the conviction state. Complete it and then submit that evidence to the city or county attorney where you were initially charged. You may well have a warrant in the conviction state but if you can demonstrate you care and that you completed the class, the prosecutor and/or judge is more likely not to revoke your stayed jail time.
p.s. don't apply or drive until you submit it.

Yes, and you need to otherwise the state your originally from will hold you in contempt of the court. They can put a warrant out in your current state for your arrest.

You should be able to. Every state has their own sets of rules so you'll have to find out yours. For example, in our state, it's offered at a local community college.

certain states have some treaty of sharing DMV information. if both of your state's have it then you have a problem. if they dont share info. then you can just go get that license and wont have to worry until you drive into the old one.

Just apply and don't say anything. See what happens
