As long as you disclose it to the inspectors at the time of entry, I see no problem.

Certain offenses render the noncitizen inadmissible. Controlled substance and crimes involving moral turpitude offenses in particular. Pretrial diversion does not remove the conviction if there was a finding of guilt.

No you should have no problems in re-entering. Of course, you called always be questioned in a deferred inspection, but a dismissed misdemeanor is not enough to make you ineligible to re-enter.
