You can load the photo as a texture (see the manual at materials) or use it as a reference image: go build>reference image.

You can read the manual to answer both questions.  To make another arm you use "Build>Mirror" but you'll get a much better in-depth understanding by simply reading the manual and playing with the tools it talks about (it's really not very long at all)
