That is true. In the sequel, Rambo was originally going to be a patient in a mental hospital which Col. Trautman visits him. But, co-writer James Cameron and Sylvester Stallone decided to have Rambo put in a prison. James Cameron simple re-used the idea of the mental hospital for Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) to explain where Sarah Connor was.

Galt is simply a bullying cop and like Teasle, he abuses his power as a policeman and is cruel, sadistic and careless. He also probably has an innate disliking for hippies and drifters and instead of treating Rambo with any decency, he physically abuses and tortures him. In his backstory, Galt had been a troublemaker prior to becoming a cop and had been arrested twice for drinking and disorderly conduct and was arrested for a 3rd time for assault and battery and he was again arrested for the 4th time for driving under the influence of alcohol and was a member of a radical paramilitary group called "The Order".

Teasle assumed Rambo was a hippie and decided to drive him to the edge of town claiming that the residents don't like hippies and drifters in their town. Teasle immediately assumed Rambo was going to be trouble because he had long hair and was scruffy. When he spotted Rambo walking back into town, he decided to arrest Rambo for vagrancy, resisting arrest and carrying a dangerous concealed weapon, the last charge being even more of an impetus to arrest him.

Vietnam veteran Rambo is arrested by Police Chief Wilfred Teasle when Rambo repeatedly returns to Madison County, Kentucky and is charged with vagrancy and resisting arrest. He's sentenced to 35 days in jail and a has a traumatic flashback to when he was a POW in Vietnam and attacks the cops when they try to cut his hair and shave him. He flees on a motorcycle into the nearby mountains. Rambo kills many cops, civilians and National Guardsmen whom are out to hunt him and special forces captain Sam Trautman arrives to assist in the manhunt as Rambo wages a one-man guerilla war.

Doubtful, he probably heard the gunshots and then entered the police station through the front entrance while Rambo was debating whether to kill Teasle or not. If anything, Trautman, knowing what Rambo could do once he stole back into town and had access to weaponry from the sporting goods store and the M60 he'd seized, decided to lay back with the police nearby and wait for a good opportunity to confront Rambo.

It was most likely a VHF (30 to 300MHz) or UHF (300-3,000MHz) so at that high frequency, no. Contrary to popular belief (such as movies like The Blues Brothers (1980) or Die Hard (1988)) law enforcement has never used CB radios. CB radios are in the 27MHz range which may possibly have worked in the cave but he wasn't using a CB.

Possibly they were alerted when his ID was checked.

3,000 miles can be covered in a few hours with military aircraft. There's also no telling how long of a timespan occurred between when they ran Rambo's sheet and when Trautman arrived at Teasle's basecamp near the mountain where Rambo was hiding. When Teasle's squad are attacked and mostly incapacitated by Rambo, it would've taken several hours for help to arrive considering the terrain they were hiking through. It all adds up to plenty of time for Trautman to arrive.

Aircraft hence the offer from Teasle to take Trautman to the airport in the bar scene

Because he wants revenge for being mistreated. War is all Rambo knows and as he told Trautman "They drew first blood" meaning they started this war and it's his job to finish it.

Disillusioned Vietnam veteran and Green Beret with a Congressional Medal of Honor, John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) walks into the small town of Hope, Washington to get food at a diner and is arrested by town sheriff Will Teasle (Brian Dennehy) for being a drifter and a troublemaker. Due to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Rambo relives painful memories of being tortured in a prison camp during the Vietnam war and suffers abuse and mistreatment by the cruel Deputy Arthur Galt (Jack Starrett). Rambo escapes from the police station and flees into the woods. Hunted by Teasle and his deputies, Rambo uses his combat skill to overpower Teasle's deputies and warn Teasle to leave him alone. However, The National Guard, the State police, and Rambo's former commanding officer Colonel Sam Trautman (Richard Crenna) arrive to help in the manhunt and to plead with Rambo to stop the violence. Soon, the town becomes a war zone as Rambo sets out to get his revenge on Teasle, resulting in a violent confrontation.

First Blood is also a 1972 novel by Canadian-American novelist David Morrell. The novel was adapted for the movie by screenwriters Michael Kozoll and William Sackheim along with Sylvester Stallone. First Blood was followed by three sequels: Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Rambo III (1988), and Rambo (2008).

During the Vietnam war, Rambo and his friends were at a bar in Saigon. A boy carrying a shoe-shine box asked Rambo and his friend Joey whether they would like to either buy the shoe-shine box or have the boy shine their boots. Rambo declined and went to go get a couple of beers. Joey said, "Yes", but the box had been wired with explosives. When the boy opened the box, it exploded, severely injuring Joey. Rambo held Joey in his arms and was trying to hold him together—the explosion had probably not only blown Joey's legs off but might have opened up his abdomen, causing his internal organs to spill out. Joey was screaming and said to Rambo, "I wanna go home!" and that he wanted to drive his Chevy. Joey died from his injuries, and Rambo was deeply traumatized by the death of his friend. He suffered nightmares about him and had never told anyone about what happened to Joey before telling Trautman.

In the original ending, after Rambo has his nervous breakdown, he decides he wants to die. He gives Trautman his gun and tells Trautman to kill him. Trautman refuses, so Rambo grabs Trautman's gun and shoots himself. Rambo dies from his gunshot wound, and Trautman walks away and leaves the police station. The original ending was showed in a test screening, but the test audience disliked seeing Rambo commit suicide, because the audience had been very much on Rambo's side and wanted to see him live. Consequently, the ending was changed to Rambo being arrested. Also, if Rambo had died there would be no sequels.

Rambo returns to the town where his war with Teasle started and is hunted down by Teasle and Trautman. Teasle takes Rambo by surprise and shoots him in the chest but is wounded in the stomach by return fire. A dying Rambo makes a final attempt to escape from town. Rambo decides to commit suicide by detonating a stick of dynamite by his body. But Teasle is following him and continues fighting. Rambo shoots Teasle and hits him but is disappointed that he missed his chance of a decent death and is too weak to light the dynamite fuse. Rambo is subsequently shot in the head by Trautman and killed. Trautman tells Teasle he killed Rambo, and Teasle dies from his wounds.
