Can a person be extradited to another state on a failure to appear bench warrant over a D.W.P. ticket?

THEORETICALLY, any person can be extradited from any jurisdiction for any offense. However, in the real world , it is rarely, if ever, done in the case of traffic offenses, whether a bench warrant was issued by a judge or not. However, if you ever go back to that state, and are located you could be whisked off to jail in a heartbeat. Judge's do not like having their orders ignored and disobeyed. In addition to that possibility, you may well find that your driver's license is suspended or revoked due to your non-appearance to answer charges.

How long can the us marshals take to transport someone on an extradition warrant?

The question is unclear. If it is asking how long you must remain in custody awaiting the arrival of the Marshall's service, the answer is - until the extradition paperwork is processed, forwarded, received, and acted upon by the holding authority. If you are still awaiting pickup at the end of 15 days, file a Writ of Habeus Corpus.

On the other hand, if it is being asked how long the Marshall's Service takes to drive or fly you back - that trip may take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more depending on how many stops for prisoner pick-ups at other locations, they may have to make.

Will a FTA warrant for felony drug possession show up on live scan from 4000 miles away and what is the statute of limitations for a drug possession warrant?

This would depend on whether the court or law enforcement agency holding the warrant entered it into NCIC, which contains the national wanted persons index. If they did, and your fingerprints are on file with that court or agency, then yes, a live scan of your fingerprints is going to reveal the existence of the warrant. Whether or not you are arrested immediately depends on whether the court or LE agency holding the warrant wants you badly enough to send someone to bring you back.

Arrest warrants are valid until served or recalled. There is no "statute of limitations" on a warrant.
