Hi,

ARP operates on layer 2 of the OSI modell which means that you can't see a MAC address if the traffic is routed. Routing and IP functionality is located at layer 3.



Regarding you second question please have a look here: http://evilzone.org/tutorials/network-securtiy-features-and-how-to-get-pass-part-1-dynamic-arp-protection/

Hope that helps :)
