Can a securiry effect arrest?
Yes, a security interest can affect arrest in certain legal contexts, particularly in civil cases involving debt collection. If a creditor has a security interest in a debtor's property, they may have the right to seize that property to satisfy a debt, which can sometimes lead to an arrest if the debtor attempts to hide or destroy the secured assets. However, in criminal law, security interests do not typically influence the process of arrest, which is based on evidence of a crime rather than financial obligations.

No - while you are financially obligated, the United States does not have debtor's prison.

A judge may also award additional damages based upon the severity of the violations (a man was recently awarded a multi million dollar lawsuit against a collection agency which screamed racial obscenities to him - and he didn't even owe them money).

Can the repo or tow truck person threaten a person about jail?
It is illegal for anyone to threaten anyone with jail time. However, repossession drivers may as a rule warn debtors that if they do not surrender the vehicle that the potential for arrest exists. This is not a threat. Many lenders will automatically authorize the petition of replevin when a debtor refuses to cooperate. If a replevin is served on a debtor and that debtor refuse to surrender the vehicle, he is likely to be arrested, and held until he surrenders the vehicle, or a judge is satisfied with the time the debtor serves for contempt of his order.
