(1) The location at which the warrant is to be served, and (2) the probable cause to believe that what is being searched for can be found there.
Yes, police generally need to show a search warrant before conducting a search, unless there are specific circumstances that allow for a search without a warrant, such as consent or exigent circumstances.
If the warrant is actually being "served" on you then it's probably in your best interests not to resist its service. Afterwards you can determine if it was valid or not by contacting the Clerk of The Court, from which the warrant was issued to determine if it is on file, or not.
It could be one. There are search warrants and arrest warrants. If you have a search warrant, the police are entitled to search your property. After executing the search warrant, if the police establish probable cause to believe that you committed a crime, they can arrest you. If you have an arrest warrant, it is only a matter of time before the police find you and execute the arrest warrant.

They must provide a judge with probable cause to do a search.
A Search Warrant
Ive heard of police with a search warrant finding something non-related to the search warrant, and then issuing a new search warrant on the spot regarding the new issue.
Question makes no sense. A search warrant is a search warrant regardless of WHERE the premises is physically located.
To obtain a search warrant an officer must go before a judge and explain the reason for the search. The warrant will list the reason or reasons why they are searching, what they are looking for, and why. please refer to this link for more information, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_warrant
Yes.
Technically they cant unless they have a search warrant not an arrest warrant.
