1. Possibly. At best you will be arrested at an inconvenient time and detained while the local cops call California and determine whether California wants to extradite you.

2. Yes. Depending on your case and its status you may already be "haunted." Ask your good lawyer.

IF you fail to complete the terms of probation, or you fail to appear at any court hearing, an arrest warrant will be issued. Warrants are forever, and are enforceable in every state by extradition. Yes, it will 'haunt' your chance of employment.
