Kidnapping a foreign leader is generally considered a severe violation of international law and can constitute an international crime, often defined as an unlawful act of aggression, hostage-taking, or a violation of state sovereignty
Regarding your second question, Switzerland is a party to the International Criminal Court (ICC), having ratified the Rome Statute in 2001 so the requirement that the crime be committed in Switzerland is not a requirement to arrest Trump.
Therefore it would be possible for the Swiss to arrest Trump and render him to The Hague.
I don't think it is even remotely likely, but it is possible.
