Is there any kind of available list of active bench warrants?

Not available to the public, no. if a warrant is issued for someone's arrest the authorities' task would not be made easier by making known the fact that they have a warrant for him; it might encourage/assist him in taking precautions to avoid arrest, which is the opposite of the outcome they want.

If you suspect there is a warrant for your arrest, talking to a solicitor might be useful. They will know how to ask without triggering thoughts of "Maybe we should have a warrant for this person."
