Will NY extradite on the Bahamas for felony DWI?
Probably not, it's more trouble than it's worth.
Depends on any previous convictions though.
Added: The Bahamas is a sovereign nation and any extradition process would have to proceed through the US State Department. Therefore - the first part of the above question is probably applicable.
HOWEVER - consider this: since the US is the nearest large, so-called, "First World" nation, and less than an hour by air from The Bahamas, it is VERY likely that at some point in your life you are likely to set foot on US soil again. If your name is contained
in NCIC (US nationwide crime computer network), AND your passport is checked when you arrive in the States, it is quite likely that you will, at the very least, be detained while your extradition status to NY is checked.
ALSO, even if the SOL has expired on the offense (if it does have an SOL) you will never be able to legally drive anywhere in the US again because your driving privilege is undoubtedly revoked and no state will issue you a drivers license.
Think it over carefully. What REALLY would be your best option.

Does Indiana extradite for a misdemeanor dwi?
A wanted person can be extradited from another state on any valid arrest warrant. The decision on whether or not to extradite is usually based on cost and funds available. It's expensive to send two officers to a remote location to escort a prisoner home, so extradition is usually limited to serious charges such as felonies. Even so, there are courts and law enforcement agencies that will fund extraditions for charges such as DUI and domestic violence. The cost of the extradition, including the officers' salaries and travel expenses, can be assessed against the defendant at sentencing. In other words, you can be made to pay for your own extradition.
