is restraining order like a crime?

Not unless it is violated.

it goes in the persons file?

What file?

It is also recorded with the court and in a state and national databases in most instances.

would cause a problem like to get a job or by immigration and other departments?

It depends on what databases or local court systems are checked by the investigator - and the nature of the job.

shows on credit reports? if yes as what?

I have HEARD they can show up on credit reports, but I am confused as to how that could happen and I have yet to ever see one there.
