Yes if the work required is sensitive enough.
ONLY a prospective employer can answer such a question as this.
A misdemeanor is a crime. It will remain on your criminal record and is permanent. It will be up to your prospective employer as to how serious he views it.
Expunged means removed, therefore the record no longer exist and would not be a factor. If the party had other criminal offenses on record that were not erased then those would appear in background check.
An employer can enforce an arrest, but they should really inform Law Enforcement to arrest you.
If you list your past employers, yes they ask them if they wish. However most employers are pretty neutral when replying to questions about ex-employees.
Check
You will have to check with your prospective employer(s) to learn the answer to this question.
Court records are public records in the United States. Whether or not an employer will check those records is another story. An employer can find out about a conviction. Whether or not an employer will find out about a conviction is a different issue. The fact that following your conviction you were held under house arrest is irrelevant. The nature of the punishment is irrelevant. The fact that you were convicted is the relevant issue. Was there a deal made that would get the conviction removed from your record? Was that part of any agreement? It is illegal for an employer to fire you in the United States because you were arrested. It is legal for an employer to fire you in the United States because you were convicted. Is the conviction on your record?
There is nothing you can do, except attempt to convince your prospective employer that you have reformed and are not an employment risk.

Yes, the record of the arrest will show up unless action is taken to have the record expunged or sealed. See the related link on expungement.
