Can you get off a misdemeanor arrest warrant by just going to court?

If it is a bench warrant you could turn yourself in at court and get brought immediately before the judge that issued it. If it is a true misdemeanor offense warrant you would need to turn yourself into law enforcement. You are required to go through the standard arrest and booking procedures. You may get "good" points for turning yourself in but you will still have to face the offense you are charged with.

What can you do if you disagree with the bench warrant?
Appear. A warrant is an order from the court for something to be done. A bench warrant is a order to any police officer (which they must obey) to arrest and deliver a specific person to the court. Going in on your own should cancel the warrant, and may let you avoid arrest.

They issue that warrant the same day, assuming it's a criminal violation. If it was a misdemeanor traffic violation they will simply default your judgement. Go to court asap or you're going to end up in jail at the worst time.
If you go into the police station to pay on a arrest warrant Will they arrest you after the money is paid?
Laws vary from state to state and you need to check with your local jurisdiction. Here is the answer for California. When a warrant is issued there is a BAIL amount. Bail can be set by the judge or it can be from a bail schedule. The bail amount is NOT the FINE for the offense, though sometimes bail can be forfieted to the fine when the matter is settled. Technically a warrant is a order by a judge, ordering a peace officer to make an arrest. If you go to a police station and let then know there is a warrant for your arrest, they MUST arrest you. If you take enough cash with you to the station you can then bail yourself out. The arrest and paying the bail cancels the warrant but does NOT settle the matter. When you bail yourself out you will be scheduled with a court date and still MUST go to court to settle the matter, unless it is the type of matter where the bail amount is used to settle the case. Of course the matter can be settled without an arrest by going to court and settling the matter and paying the fine.

Yes. A warrant is an order for arrest based on the specific charge or charges listed.
