What does it mean when a case is dismissed by the prosecutor but the defendant was indicted by the grand jury?
It means that the Grand Jury found Probable Cause to believe that you committed the offense for which you were charged at the time of your arrest despite the action of the prosecutor's office.A prosecutor can NOT "dismiss" a criminal charge. When a prosecutor makes the decision NOT to follow through on the indictment it is known as a Nolle Prosequi. In plain English it means that the prosecutor has made the decision that;(a there is no 'prosecutorial merit' to the case, OR -(b) that case is found to be lacking the necessary facts or evidence to proceed to trial.A 'Nolle' is NOT a dismissal! Prosecutors can NOT "dismiss" a charge.Only judges have the legal authority to "dismiss" a charge.If your charge was "nolled" because of a factual error or an evidentiary deficiency - AND - that error or deficiency is "cured" by subsequent police investigation, the prosecutor COULD re-institute the charge against you and take you to trial.
What if victim was asked to report to a preliminary hearing and doesnt what happens?

Is a prosecutor legally permitted to engage plea negotiations absent prima facie evidence?
What do you mean by prima facie evidence? A prosecutor is free to enter into a plea agreement at any point during a criminal case. He or she is also ethically required not to charge a case against an individual unless they feel that they can prove that case beyond a reasonable doubt to begin with. That's not to say that there isn't such a thing as a unethical prosecutor that would charge a case on very little evidence. However that is a rarity. A prosecutor ethically is also required not to prosecute a case unless they believe that person to be guilty it is not simply to secure convictions. There is no such thing as an amount of evidence that is required for a plea negotiation. However, if a prosecutor is being ethical about it there will almost always be some evidence to suggest the accussed's guilt.
Can a prosecutor alter a charge after sentencing?
No. Any such action should be reported to the state attorney general.If the defendant has already been sentenced, then the case is adjudicated, completed, finished, over, done with.It would be an impossibility for a prosecutor to alter the entire preceding case and change the charge (after-the-fact) for which the defendant has already been tried and sentenced.If they wished to charge the adjudicated defendant with a NEW offense, then that avenue is open to him.
Can a prosecutor subpoena a phone as evidence in a criminal case?
Yes, a prosecutor can subpoena a phone as evidence in a criminal case.
Can a prosecutor refuse prosecution when a prosecutor has knowledge of a violation of law?
Yes, that is known as "Prosecutorial Discretion." Such decisons, if unpopular, can be a problem at election time, but it is legal.Additionally, I can't remember the case law names though, but the victim, has NO say constitutionally/legally on if a prosecutor refuses to charge or not.Added: Such a decision/determination is known in law as a Nolle Prosequi.I am not 100% certain about this, but I do not believe that a prosecutor has this option in a case where an indictment has been returned by a Grand Jury.
Who files perjury charges if a person has been proven to lie under oath in a deposition?
