Nobody has answered because your questions are orthogonal to the scope of

ARP is layer2. Wireguard is layer3. If you want ARP requests to propogate 
between the networks you will have to set up layer2 tunneling of some sort.

If you want multicast traffic to propogate, an IGMP / MLP proxy server would 
probably be the easiest solution.
