I do not believe that there is a 'set' number of times. Defendants do have the privilege of changing their attorney's "for good cause." But a defendant cannot postpone his trial indefinitely by using this method. Eventually the judge will assign him an attorney the judge knows to be competent and the trial will proceed with the defendant's approval, or not.

Will the US extradite someone from Australia for misdemeanor charges?
Doubtful. A misdeamor only carries up to a year in jail. I doubt anyone would spend the resources that it would take to bring the defendant back to the US. Many times the state attorneys office will decline extradition even if the case is in the US because it is cost prohibitive. The defendant may surrender themselves in the original county however and clear the warrant.
