1. No, the arrow changes when the throwin ends or when the throw-in team violates. The arrow gives you the throw-in, nothing more. The throwin ends when the ball is legally touched in bounds.

2. a) no, see #1. b) no, violating on the throw in does not save the arrow. c) the throw in ends when the player legally touched the ball in bounds.

The only way to keep the arrow is for the defensive team to violate (such as a kick), or for either team to foul. So, if the arrow is that important to you, and you want to preserve it for the next quarter; you could commit an offensive foul before the throw-in ends and hope the refs and the scorers are aware of this quirk.
