We have no way of knowing what the store's LP is thinking...keep looking....nah, its just the ex-supervisor....keep looking.....
Yes, you should be very worried.
It is very possible they are still investigating and will find records that show your theft. Or maybe not.
State laws vary...they have 1-2 years to file charges.
Confess....no.
Even if/when charged, you want to plead Not Guilty and make the store prove their case, and it is within your legal right (while people were upset about cases like Casey Anthony, OJ, Jodi Arias...it is in the legal right to make the state plea their case and prove it beyond reasonable doubt to a jury).
Payback at this point? You're admitting your crime.
Quit...you're going to look suspicious. You risk being fired and charged with theft also.
You are in a serious situation and between a rock and a hard place.
Again, get a consultation with a lawyer asap. Be honest and upfront (yes, I did this...my ex-boss is being investigated, so....I'm scared about me). There is client/lawyer confidentiality. This is the only person you should talk to, period. If you are at work and get called to LP or police to be questioned, your first words are "I want to call a lawyer" and have that number memorized.
Next: Again, be honest with the lawyer....if he/she doesn't think you are being honest, they may be less inclined to work hard for you.
