Legal Question in DUI Law in California

If I got a DUI in Florida and reside in California and I got a bench warranty for unable to show up due to new living location. Would I get arrested if stopped even if it's a different state?

If it is a Misdemeanor, you probably won't get arrested. However, having said that, they would have the power to arrest you, so I wouldn't take the chance. You should hire someone in Florida to take care of the bench warrant and deal with your case in Florida.

Yes, you could be arrested and held for extradition. It may or may not happen, depending upon the policy and attitude of the local PD at the time.
