If the police pull me over for a traffic offense in Mississippi, can they search my car and arrest me?

If you’re pulled over for a traffic offense you can be arrested. Generally you won’t be, unless there is probable cause on the police officer’s behalf to suspect that some other crime has occurred, such as the smell of marijuana, the smell of alcohol, things like that which would give the officer reason to believe that something more serious has occurred, and then that would result in arrest, which could result in the searching of your car.
