Not until you get it quashed.

Nope. It never goes away by itself. You should hire a lawyer to go to court to recall the warrant. A lawyer can do this without you present, so it is less risky for you.

See an attorney, if you have a warrant out they will arrest you on finding you.

The warrant does not go away. Sometimes you can avoid going to jail on a warrant return but this is usually best done with the assistance of an attorney.
