It is the same as the crime for which you are being charged. Fail to appear for a Felony is is a felony warrant. Fail to appear on a local ordinance charge is a local ordinance warrant with limited extradition.
It IS possible that it is a clerical error. Go to the court in which you were convicted. At the Clerk of Court's office and ask to see your court file. The final disposition of your case (felony or misdemeanor) will appear there. If you find that the background record is incorrect, ask the personnel at that office how to go about getting it corrected.
A felony failure to appear means that a person did not show up at a scheduled court appearance. This causes a warrant to issued for the offender so they may be picked up and held for court. There is typically a fine that has to be paid to be released and the court may require some jail time for this as well.

A subpoena is a writ served to command someone's appearance in court. There is no "charge" involved with it. . . unless, perhaps, the person who was subpoenaed fails to appear.
The answer is Circuit Court
They will be charged with contempt of court.
The person with the bench warrant will have to appear before the court. The person who lied may be charged with perjury.
