No. The first time you are Constitutionally required to be informed of why you are being arrested is when you are arraigned for the first time.

Yes, detainment is a delay to help eliminate you as a suspect or to bring you back to your senses if you were acting out of control, like you’re drunk or just out of your mind.

No... Arraignment is your first court appearance in front of a judge where charges against you are formally pronounced. It can be proceeded by a bond hearing in some states, but most have the bond hearing in the same arraignment hearing.

Until then you are “arrested and being held on suspicion of” a crime pending formal charges brought by the DA which has to happen within 72 hours or they have to release you before the bond/arraignment hearing.
