Hm...

For your first point, there has to be someone who is the physical superior among the humans/CCG. He's it. Also, Kaneki gives him what is essentially a paper cut under his eye which does not heal right away. He still has the cut in Chapter 143, which is at least a few days later. No ghoul heals that slowly without being painfully visible signs.

As for IXA and Eto - Kaneki broke IXA (cracked it in defense mode) so he couldn't have used it in the fight against Eto because who would want to use a cracked quinque? That damage would have also affected its offensive modes. Plus, Arima was only wielding Narukami when he arrived.

One-Eyed King Theory - Well, of course Eto was expecting him. She's their biggest threat, and only one other person has harmed either of the Owls asides from Arima. That guy lost his hand and got thrown off the building. The vibe I got from her "It's you!" (not sure if this is the exact line) was "It's you, the one who defeated my father!" In addition, Arima is infamous as the CCG's strongest ghoul investigator. That could have also elicited her response.

As for being able to defeat Eto, that is where it is a little strange. However, there are several possible interpretations for this, so eh. It's not feasible evidence for anything.

Kaneki's brother - Arima wasn't given notice of the One Eyed Owl's appearance because the CCG confidently assumed that the One Eyed Owl would have to go through V14 where Arima was to get to the battle.

When Eto appears, Washuu says if she had been detected, they may have been able to call Arima in time. From this, it sounds like they had to send someone down to go get Arima or at least down into the sewers to contact him. If they could directly communicate with Arima, there would be no need for Washuu's statment.

Besides, after Arima seems to recognize Kaneki, he then tells Kaneki that "no ghoul can pass V14". No matter how you cut it, Kaneki is a ghoul, and Arima's actions were with the intent to kill. Kaneki surviving this ordeal might simply be due to Rize's abnormal regeneration factor.

Whelp. this was long... But those are my thoughts.
