The context here is elimination of rough contact, not simple contact.
1) Yes, that's the complete citation with regards to use of a forearm.

2) No, it does NOT allow contact of any kind with a forearm. They are not referring to rough forearm movement; they are referring to any forearm movement. The FED regards simple forearm contact as being a foul- every time- and that's exactly what that POE is saying..
