Likely yes. Why would it not? You may receive a copy of your criminal history report. Below is from the GBI web page, http://gbi.georgia.gov/ Click "services" Obtaining Criminal History Record Information Georgia criminal history records can be obtained from local Sheriff's or Police Departments.

Depend on the level of the check but commonly yes. You should seek to have the conviction expunged.

You need to talk with the agencies that do background checks and see how far back they go. The repository in Idaho goes back pretty far so it would not be hard to include the misdemeanor. I think you would better served if you were up front about the problem and point out that nothing has occurred in the interim.
