A bench warrant is a bench warrant whether it is issued by a criminal court judge or a civil court judge.
A bench warrant is issued by the Court. A private citizen or his attorney isn't the originating agent, the Court (the judge) is. The Court has sole discretion in this, and cannot be compelled to issue a bench warrant.

A bench warrant in ANY state is a warrant issued directly by the court, on its own authority, to take the named individual into custody.
A "bench warrant" is a warrant issued by a judge on his sole authority. Only the judge who issued the warrant can vacate the warrant. If he had to issue one to get you to court to testify, you probably won't be released until after your necessity in the court action is ended.
If a bench warrant is issued for you, you will be arrested immediately upon being located by the sheriff or police. If it is a 'normal' bench warrant you will be transported to jail and held for court the next day. If it is a "forthwith" order, you will immediately be transported directly to court and presented to the judge.
Appear. A warrant is an order from the court for something to be done. A bench warrant is a order to any police officer (which they must obey) to arrest and deliver a specific person to the court. Going in on your own should cancel the warrant, and may let you avoid arrest.

This doesn't make sense: a person who has been served a bench warrant is arrested and brought to the court that issued the warrant. However if the warrant has a bond amount specified, the person posts it, then doesn't show, then another bench warrant will be issued for a higher or no bond.
None. A warrant exists until you get arrested or contact the court to handle the problem.
