The answer is yes. In every jurisdiction I'm familiar with, merely concealing merchandise while inside the store is legally sufficient for an arrest.

Of course; the crime is the intention to steal.
You can be arrested for going equipped to steal - for example, having multiple internal (purpose made) pockets in a long coat or a backpack lined with foil to block tag detectors.

Of course. You could be an accomplice. In MY State you can be arrested based on INTENT, not on the actual act.

Of course you can.
