Is it possible to live in one of the countries without an extradition treaty with the US, being a US citizen with federal charges pending, and still be extradited back to the US?

One doesn't have to worry about the Federal government but rather if there's any reward for your return to the States? While the US Goverment cannot and would not do anything there's a growing number of bounty-hunters who and and do track fugitives down worldwide. Also the fugitive would have to stay in that country or only go to other countries without an extradition treaty. Once on the soil of any country that does have such a mutual treaty the fugitive subject to immediate arrest and deportation back to the USA. And again.. even staying only countries without that extradition treaty is no safeguard against the bounty-hunters.

simply NO

Well, if federal employees grab you, it might technically be called a "kidnapping" rather than an "extradition," but good luck getting anybody to listen to you -- Ask

I don't have any problems with the law in any of the 50 states. However, knowledge is power, and I would like to know if there are countries that will not extradite Americans to the US.

Yes, but there is no guarantee of it. Treaties are ongoing reciprocal agreements that countries must follow (or risk sanctions). However, the absence of a treaty does not mean that extradition is prohibited. If we know that a high profile criminal is in a non-extradition country, the State Department will negotiate with that country for extradition of that fugitive.
