The simple answer, yes. I used to work in insurance underwriting and one of my jobs was reviewing motor vehicle records (MVR). I often saw violations from multiple states on one MVR. As a matter of fact, both moving violations (speeding) and administrative type (expired tags) violations showed up. If the ticket didn't show up. . .you got lucky (it does happen) or the time in which your resident state still considers a ticket "active" is up. Laws vary from state to state regarding MVRs too.

yes if you do not pay the out of state ticket then your state will suspend your drivers license.

I used to work for two law enforcement agencies and found this out: The majority of the states in the U.S AND parts of Canada are members of what is called the Non-Resident Violators Compact (NRVC). This allows them to share information regarding driving records, criminal records, etc. For instance, if you apply for a driver's license in Texas, but you have a suspended license in Arizona, you will not be allowed to obtain one in Texas, in fact, you could be arrested in Texas for driving on a suspended out-of-state license. Execution of state-to-state warrants are handled in much the same way.

The answer depends on what states your home state has a reciprocity agreement with. For example, Virginia has reciprocity with most states in the Union, so if you get a ticket in Virginia, it'll show up in your state, and likewise, if you live in Va and get a ticket in Utah, it will show up in Va..
