I got a letter in the mail that states I'm scheduled for an Informal Administration hearing if i don't go a warrent will be issued for my arrest? Does this mean they'll lock me up either way

Not necessarily; however, counsel will be able to better advise you once you provide him/her with more details concerning the circumstances surrounding the hearing. It seems unwise to skip the hearing and ensure that you'll be arrested when your attendance may avoid it.
