If i understand your question correctly, you have a court coming up and you have a warrant for a different offence. If the court is aware the answer is yes. The court has the right to not act on it also depending what the offence is. Since you have a court date coming up I would imagine you have an attorney. Make sure he is aware of this. I f you don't have an attorney I would get one now. Its 50/50 wheather they will serve the warrant or not, I have seen it go both ways.

No. Only the court (Judges) may issue a warrant for someone's arrest. No lender may have you arrested for not paying a loan, however, if you don't show up to court (or have legal representation at court), the judge may issue a bench warrant for your arrest (with the intention of getting you in front of the court, not to put you in jail). If the default, however, is subsequently believed to be a result of fraud, the judge may pass the particulars of the case to a prosecutor who will likely request a warrant for your arrest. In this case, the warrant is meant to hold you for trial in criminal court.

By the same token, there are several types of warrant, and the most common type are those issued by judges. They are either search warrants, ordering the police to search a home, car, or other structure that would otherwise not be allowed to be entered by anyone not authorized to do so, or they are warrants known as capii (pural for capias), which are warrants for a person's arrest and to be brought to court to answer any charges or other reasons for which the capias was issued. Examples of capii are: arrest warrants, which order police to arrest and charge someone with a new crime; VOP warrants to arrest someone for violation of probation; bench warrants, which is signed from the judge's bench, normally for failure to appear in court or contempt of court (witnesses who don't appear for example), and a writ of bodily attachment, which is issued for a person not charged with a crime, but fails to appear as a defendant for a civil case or a witness for a civil case.
