Of course they can, they can arrest you for any state law violated within the city limit.

Absolutely. A state trooper has jurisdiction throughout the entire state. City police only have jurisdiction within their city, however there are exceptions If a city cop attemps to stop you and you run, they can chase you into another jurisdiction, under the "hot pursuit clause"

Yes they can. They are called STATE Troopers because they have authority in the entire STATE.
