If yes, would you then be able to determine that something you cannot see shot an arrow "from somewhere in that general location" and either back away from the area, take cover from that direction, or ready a shield in that direction without wandering into the realm of meta-gaming?
If no, characters cannot see the arrows when they are fired, I'd presume that a character struck by an attack delivered while concealed would be able to take those measures since they now have an arrow sticking out of them pointing in the direction of the attack?
If the marksman moved to another location under stealth before firing another shot then obviously you wouldn't be able to track their movement without using an appropriate skill. This is just against the direction of the shot fired/attack delivered.

The short answer is yes, you can see the arrow if you see the arrow. If struck in the back, it's obvious you were shot from the direction of behind you. In any case, you may act appropriately.
Yes, the M Marksman could move to avoid discovery and shoot from different vantages, which only appropriate detection skills could break.
Zach,
As written, I'd say yes, as long as the skill can be both double shotted and perfect shotted.
