No. The police officer is out of the jurisdiction.
He's need to get the Moscow police to do the arresting, and then ask for extradition procedures to be taken. Even in the US, he can't arrest people out of his state, and even a local sheriff can't arrest people outside of his area.

No, the American police officer would have no jurisdiction. What would happen to him if he tried? Well he may get arrested himself.

Yes, if they have committed an offense or you have seen an offense being committed. Other exceptions such as warrants for arrest, return to prison warrants etc etc

Only inside of America. There they get away with it. They brag on it as poaching & the judges let them. Like on the interstate/ Only a State cop hs jurisdiction. But every city cop poachs there. Illegal but that is America the cop taxed.
