Has a portion of Arizona been given back to Mexico?

That is what Arizona is arguing the Federal Government has done. The state of Arizona claims it is trying to reclaim its own land and enforce its border with Mexico. The Federal Government claims a different issue is involved. I am not sure at present just what that issue may be.

I have seen too many that have been totally wrong.

If a crime took place in one state but no charges were filled in that state can another state file charges for that crime?

Yes, it is possible for another state to file charges for a crime that took place in a different state if it has jurisdiction and the crime falls within its legal boundaries. Each state has its own laws and statutes that govern prosecution, so it is important to review the specific circumstances of the case to determine if charges can be filed in another state.
