If you were arrested for a felony crime - and the charge was dismissed before ever reaching the trial stage - you are NOT considered to be a felon. And although your record may reflect an arrest for the offense, it will also show that the charge was dismissed.

It was dismissed - which means there wasn't even a case. A conviction is a conclusion to a case. If the case was dismissed (ie there was no case) then there was no conclusion to the nonexistent case. So, no.
No. Provided it was charged, closed, reopened, then dismissed. The prosecutor could still reopen the case however.
