He shouldn't have to post bail. NY state law says that any nonviolent felony offender is released on their own recognizance unless they're a flight risk.

Is everyone who is arraigned automatically arrested? I honestly don't know.
That "flight risk" thing is a problem. They could immediately state he's a flight risk for not appearing in court once the trial starts, because he's already living out of state and intends to go back there today. He also has billions of dollars and a jet plane capable of international flight.
Yes- everyone who is indicted is automatically arrested. The arrest happens before the arraignment. He's not a flight risk- he has a secret service detail. I don't think that they would literally say that they think that the secret service would let him run.

They could easily say he's a flight risk.
