Count your blessings that the ticket is not from California. You would have been looking at least double that fine (including all the penalty assessments).

I'm wondering if they will try to serve me as I'm out of state.
They will not try to serve it out of state, however, it will probably end up on your credit report.

I did not think this info would cross state lines, and it did not years ago when I got my last speeding ticket, in Utah, but again stuff I read on the web suggests this info is now shared.
That depends on whether your home state is a member of the
Interstate Driver's License Compact. Only five states are not in the compact, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
