Can someone be placed under house arrest without being aware of committing a crime or notified of committing one?
Not in the United States. First you have to be charged, which at that point, you obviously know you are being charged. Then, arraigned, where you plead and request bail, which at that point, they may put you under house arrest. But my point is, you have to be charged and then arraigned to be placed under house arrest, so there is no way you would not know of this.

Yes it does count as a crime.

They can't come into your home and just arrest you for being drunk you need to commiting a crime or disturbing the peace while under the influence to be charged as drunk and disorderly.
