Clueless human, but what stops a company from ignoring these laws from certain states? How is this enforceable if a company doesn't have any infrastructure within that state?

Now I am curious as well. Are there…extradition treaties between states?

The treaty in question is the Constitution. All states must grant extradition to any other state.

It would be pretty crazy if you could kill someone in Arizona and then just walk over the border to California and not be able to be prosecuted…

Murder is a crime in all states. If the two states disagree on if a crime occurred, does the requesting state get to impose its laws on everyone?

> Murder is a crime in all states.

Not by the same definition, no, its not, though there is a crime called "murder" in all states, and there tends to be significant overlap in the definitions.
