Do you have to answer a information subpoena?

Yes, you do as long as you are the judgment debtor of the person serving the subpoena on you and as long as it was issued properly. If you ignore the subpoena, the creditor could apply to the court for an order directing you to answer it. If the order is served on you and you still refuse to answer it, the creditor can apply for an order to hold you in contempt of the court order, which could subject you to arrest. This type of arrest is not a criminal arrest, but the court might decide to keep you in jail until you do answer the information subpoena.
