I am claimed on someone else's Michigan taxes and my adjusted gross income is less than $5,000. Should my employer still withhold the tax from my pay?

Yes, the employer should withhold at the applicable tax rate. You must file the individual income tax return form EL-1040, due April 30 of the subsequent year, to receive a refund of the amount withheld.
