My refund has been reduced by the amount I owe the state. Does Turbo Tax pay my state with my refund?

No.  Turbo Tax just shows you the net combined federal and state.  You will get the full refund and need to pay the state tax due yourself.

You must have misunderstood something.  State taxes owed can never be paid from the federal tax refund.
