Yes, you can as long as there was not any probable cause. If they just walk in and start searching, that is illegal and you can press charges. If anything incriminating is found it is also inadmissible in court.
If you committed a crime and ran to the house, or a crime was committed at the house, then yes they can enter with out a warrant, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

It depends on the laws and regulations in your jurisdiction. In some cases, you may be able to file a complaint or civil lawsuit against the police department for an unlawful entry. However, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer who is familiar with the laws in your area to understand your rights and potential legal options.

Not if they had a key or other means to get into the house without "breaking and entering". Contact the police and report the unauthorized entry. You cannot file charges on someone for this, the police need to. If the circumstances don't warrant filing charges, they'll explain why.

No, a warrant is not the same as a charge. A warrant means the authorities have enough evidence to indicate that further investigation is required or that it is reasonable that charges can be made.

Warrants never expire, contrary to popular belief/myth/legend. The prosecution has a limited amount of time to file charges against a defendant, except in the case of murder where there is no time limit to file charges. If there is a warrant out on you, that means that the court already pressed charges and the judge signed the warrant. Again, warrants never expire.
