18 U.S. Code § 1510 - Obstruction of criminal investigations

(a) Whoever willfully endeavors by means of bribery to obstruct, delay, or prevent the communication of information relating to a violation of any criminal statute of the United States by any person to a criminal investigator shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

But yes, it can be a felony, depending on what you do. The penalty will depend on the specific violation.

4. What about Bannon's attorney?

(I'm assuming we're discussing comms between the attorney and the White House during Bannon's testimony)

Can he be held in contempt as a participant?

5. Not unless he committed a crime or violated a court order.

If he specifically advised his client to do something that constitutes obstruction of justice, possibly. At a minimum he could lose his law license.
