1. Drawing the arrow so that it is scaled on to the canvas when I tried
multiplying by a scale factor of 1.5 various combinations produced
either a distorted arrow head or a line and arrow head that were drawn
in different places, and still the thickness of the line did not seem to
scale either.

The trick is to move the origin to the root of the arrow with a
transform before you apply the scale.
