There are two kinds of arrest warrants: "straight" warrants, which are issued as a result of a criminal complaint or indictment, and "default" warrants, which are issued because a person defaults on their responsibility to either appear in court or pay a court-mandated fine.

What states in the us will extradite to Massachusetts on a default warrant?

A default warrant is a criminal arrest warrant like any other, even if the original offense was minor, the default on the court appearance is a serious issue. Like for any other arrest warrant, all states will arrest you on it and contact Massachusetts (or whatever state issued the warrant) for extradition. You will need to work with a criminal attorney in Massachusetts to cure the default.

May an officer arrest anywhere in the country?

Generally no. Usually police officers have specific jurisdictions where they make arrests. Some states give police, or peace officers jurisdiction to arrest in the entire state. Only Federal law enforcement officers can arrest in any state, but only for Federal law violations. When a Boston police officer needs a person arrested in Atlanta, for example, they obtain a warrant for the suspect's arrest, place the warrant on NCIC (National Crime Information Computer) and tell Atlanta to pick the suspect up on the warrant. Once the suspect has been arrested in Atlanta, the Boston Police must forward complete copies of the warrant and the affidavit used to obtain the warrant to Atlanta. The suspect may then fight extradition to Massachusetts to avoid the Massachusetts Courts. Suspects rarely win extradition fights.
