If you have a felony warrant for your arrest and someone asks you to go testify for them in an unrelated court case in Texas will you get arrested?

It sure is possible. The defense attorney will have to turn over to the prosecutor the list of names he plans to call as witnesses. Any state's attorney worth his job will probably run the names through the criminal information computer in order to learn something about the background of the witnesses he is going to have to contend with. If you're a felony absconder, it's quite likely you'll be in there.

When the police book you in after they arrest you without a warrant can they charge you with a crime before they get a warrant in the state of Texas?
A warrant is an order for an arrest issued by the court. But many arrests do not need a warrant. If you punch someone in the face, and police are called, you will be arrested without a warrant, and one will not be needed. If say, you failed to show up in court, then a warrant for your arrest will be issued, to alert all officers that you should be arrested on sight. So the warrant itself is not the thing 'allowing' you to be arrested.
