A background check normally only checks your criminal record; if nothing was ever done in the legal system such as charges laid, convictions or trials, then no, it won't show up. However, if the person wanting the check also wants a reference from the employer who fired you for theft and/or asks why you were fired from that job, they will find out what happened.
Yes, if they were prosecuted by a state authority. In some instances someone may have been charged under a local ordinance violation and the legal status of that is something like a parking ticket for which there is no criminal record.
Yes, theft infractions can show up on a background check if they have been reported to law enforcement and resulted in a criminal record. Background checks typically include information about a person's criminal history, including theft offenses.
The length of time theft by check will appear on a background check can vary depending on the specific policies of the reporting agency and the laws in the relevant jurisdiction. In general, criminal convictions can show up on background checks indefinitely unless they are expunged or sealed by a court order.
ANY misdemeanor or felony theft charge that you were found guilty of as an adult will show up in a background check. Unless the charge was filed under an ordinance of some sort. But, inevitably if the charge was a state filled charge, it will be evident.
Of course. Actually you are only "charged" for a crime and you are "sued" civilly. In your example, the retail theft is a crime and can be indicted, tried and punished. If restitution is not ordered in the criminal trial, the victii can sue civilly to recover.
That's entirely up to your employer.
You can get fired for any kind of theft.

Being fired is a civil or employment matter. Theft is a criminal matter. One does not affect the other.
It probably will not. However, even if it does, employers are barred from making any employment decisions based on an arrest/charge that did not result in a conviction.
You are charged with the crime regardless. Theft is illegal EVERYWHERE.
They can be charged with theft by deception, fraud, check-kiting (uttering), for starters.
