A: Most likely, the jail will see the warrant, contact the issuing agency in Indiana, and verify whether it is a warrant that Indiana will request extradition for. Maybe, maybe not. If not, GA might release. If so, the extradition process will start. Would be smart to engage lawyers in both states.
