Parole officers/Parole Board have HUGELY broad discretion under the laws of this state (I think all states really). Absolutely they can "violate" a parolee; moreover, for an arrest of any time they can "revoke" parole altogether, sending a parolee back into custody for the remainder of her original sentence at time of parole (it's statutory law, don't know citation). Oh, and this most drastic penalty applies not just for a misdemeanor arrest, but even a lesser infraction (common example i've noticed: parolee late or absent at hearing, etc.)

me, I think that's big scary power. In Louisiana, there's not a whole lot of rhyme or reason to the parole/probation processes, just the condescending assurance that these are a blessing from heaven, and that they are angry gawds

That's the simple answer...I'm not qualified to elaborate.

No. If you commit a crime while on parole, you will have violated the provisions of your parole and it is almost certain that you will be returned to prison to serve out the term of your original sentence. Additionally, if convicted of the new offense, you will probably have that sentence added to whatever original term you were serving for the first offense.
