Yes, they can arrest you if you pose a threat to society or if you have broken the law, it is at the digression of the law to make an arrest if they need to be arrested. However, they have to get a lawyer back at the station so they can be prepared for a court case if needed.

Added: However - consider this - depending on the reason you were stopped, your refusal to answer their questions COULD establish a "reasonable suspicion" and/or probable cause" that you may be involved in some type of offense which they are investigating.

If the officer has reasonable suspicion to detain you, you are obligated to answer non-incriminating questions.

Is it a violation if the police have an arrest warrant and ask you questions without Miranda then arrest you?
When the police must read you your Miranda rights is murky at best. They must read them at some point before your custodial interrogation. That is, after they arrest you but before they ask you any questions pertaining to the crime you are suspected of. If you are arrested, the best option is not answer any questions without an attorney. When they ask you if you understand your rights, say no. When they ask you what part you don't understand, say you don't understand any of them. After that, clam up.
