It depends if the warrant was entered into the "system" or nationwide warrant computer network (NCIC) beginning in New York with something called NYSIID. This has to do with how rap sheets are generated showing convictions, active warrants, etc. There is a nationwide equivalent to this system. The warrant will pop up when accessed by the police say when they pull you over.
Some police dread doing this with out of state Defendants especially with minor offenses because some have to file a regular report showing how they attempt to contact that person to bring them in or in serious crimes actually pursue an out of stater. Misdemeanor cases are not typically so pursued. If you are arrested, you will be given the opportunity waive extradition and be transported to the Court where your bench warrant is.
If you do not waive extradition, a process must be followed which includes getting an additional warrant from the State where you are located, etc. - it is time consuming and costly.
If the warrant is not entered into the "system" and actively pursued, the case will run into speedy trial problems at least in NY. If say a number of years pass and the bench warrant just sits in the Judge's desk or in local PD's drawer your right to a speedy trial has been violated and you can move to dimiss the charge.
Some police officers rescind warrants after time goes by and they decide to not actively pursue you out of state.

Yes, the warrant will show up when you are ran by any law enforcement agency. The NCIC (National Crime Information Center) system allows for agencies to know that you have an outstanding warrant anywhere in the country. If you are ran by any officer in the country, that warrant will show up and if it is found to be extraditable, you will be picked up.
Bench warrants are felony warrants, even if on a misdemeanor charge. These type of warrants are often no bond warrants where if you are picked up they will not let you out of jail to be sure that you attend your court hearing. You must be careful with having a bench warrant because they are sometimes extraditable nationwide so that if you are picked up on the opposite side of the country, you could still be charged with the warrant.

The warrant will show in adjoining states, and if the state of origin wants you bad enough (past record) they WILL extradite. FTA warrants are not handled like typical felony-or-misdemeanor warrants. Go HIDE

Probably not. This is a very minor thing compared to everything else the courts have to do. It also depends on other circumstances, such as why you didn't appear, and how the matter was disposed of. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Hope this helps.

It can. If your city reports to NCIC, then it will. Depending on the seriousness of the charge, they may or may not extradite (be willing to pay to drag your sorry butt back). Why don't you just take care of the misdemeanor charge so you don't have to worry any more.

No! Only the state which you have that Muni Warrant in, will it show up on any police record checks.
