It depends what the arrest warrant was issued for. Did you murder someone? If so, then the warrant is enforceable everywhere. Even in other countries that have agreed to give "full faith and credit" to legal acts originating from the USA.
If the warrant is for petty misdemeanor or simple infractions (traffic tickets) then the warrants are usually enforced within the State. For example, it is highly unlikely that California would extradite a person to Massachusetts because that person has a few unpaid traffic tickets.
So my answer is that it depends on (1) why the warrant was issued, and (2) whether or not the warrant was issued for a felony or petty crimes.

An arrest warrant goes as far as the original agency is willing to extradite. That depends on the charge and the bond on the warrant.

as far as the arresting county is willing to go for you in the usa.if you got picked up in a different state they would hold you until the arresting county decided if it would be worth the money to come pick you up,if you did something pretty small they most likley decide against it and the cop who picked you up would have to let you go.

I am not sure, it depends on the circumstances. I know it can be from 30-90 days with child support issues in Michigan. Check the court where the issue is being dealt with.
