Police with an arrest warrant can enter the home of the person named in the warrant if they have reasonable grounds to believe he is on the premises. They can search the premises in any place the accused person would be able to hide (they couldn't for example, look in the drawers of a nightstand, because no one could hide there). Police have to get a search warrant to enter the house of a person other than the one named in the arrest warrant.

Will customs arrest you for a misdemeanor traffic warrant?
Before a Customs agent would make an arrest for a warrant of any type, the agent would have to believe the agency holding the warrant would come to the port of entry where the arrest was made to pick up the person with the warrant. If the agency is adjacent to the port of entry (e.g. a San Diego warrant in San Ysidro), this is likely. If the agency holding the warrant was distant to the port of entry, it's unlikely they will expend the time and money to fetch someone with a misdemeanor warrant.

The "immediate area" of the arrested subject can be searched at the time of their arrest, but the entire premises may not be, unless there is an accompanying SEARCH warrant. This does not preclude an officer being stationed in the residence to prevent the removal or destruction of contraband -if- circumstances support probable cause for believing this, while a search warrant is applied for and arrives.

An arrest warrant does not grant any form of entry into a residence. If you answer the door they can arrest you, if not they cannot. The exception to this is warrants for felonies, which allow them to enter the premises if they have cause to believe you are there or that evidence of where you have gone might be found there.
