Yup thats correct. If you want 4 of each spring, then yes you need 2 sets, however most people are running different spring F/R so you would theoretically be able to get away with just one set, but wouldn't leave much in the way of tuning options.
Most manufacturers seem to offer arms a pairs per side... not much we can do about it

As for the other arm questions. If you look at the arms, you'll see the shock mounting holes on both sides of the arms. The standard setup calls for the shocks to be one hole in from the outermost hole. On the longer LWT arms, this was a bit easier, as one side had three holes, and the other two... but with two holes either side on the short LWT, it's a bit harder.
As a quick pointer though, you'll have the arms correct if you have a the marking only showing on one side. Obviously, depending on which shock holes you use will depend on which side has the marking showing.
What you don't want is both sides to either be showing/not showing a marking, as it means your shocks will be mounted in different holes.

And the driveshafts fit fine, nothing else needs changing when switching arms Only possible issue, is the right rear driveshaft blade touching the diff nut, this can be solved by sanding off a little material from the blade.
