The arrow goes through Klink's hat and into his office door. In the next scene, he's holding the hat, but the arrow is still embedded in the door. For that to happen, someone would have to take the arrow out of the door, remove the hat and replace the arrow, or slide the hat down the length of the shaft to remove it from the arrow. Both scenarios are implausible. It is entirely plausible that Klink could have removed his hat from the arrow by sliding it down past the fletching (feathers) to remove it from the arrow, as the fletching would simply compress around the shaft of the arrow as the hat slides past. Also, since the hat is a flexible material (not hard) it would easily stretch around the fletching, sliding off the end.
The area where the fletching (feathers) is attached on the arrow is a deep red (almost maroon) when it is first shot through Klink's hat and embedded in the door. In the next shot (after the break), the area at the fletching is bright red.
Hogan refers to a "high school production of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE". AOL was in its Broadway run until 1944 at which time it transferred to regional productions. High schools could not use the property until the early 1950s at the earliest. As an interesting aside, Robert Crane would play Mortimer Brewster in the 1969 made-for-television version of the play.
What Hogan says is that they are not going to run the production "like a high school production of Arsenic and Old Lace". He's referring to the Broadway production, not an actual high school version. Essentially, he's saying that he's not going to run things like an amateur production of the professional show.

Regarding the mention of Enrico Fermi, Fermi was not German, nor did he leave Germany for the US in 1937. Fermi was born in Rome, Italy, in 1901 and lived in Italy until 1938. After receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics in Stockholm, Sweden, in December 1938, he and his family left for the United States, where he lived until his death in 1954.
Fermi was an integral member of the Manhattan Project, which developed the atomic bomb for the Allies. He created the world's first nuclear reactor in Chicago in 1942, and is known as the "Architect of the Atomic Bomb." He did learn German as a student in order to read scientific papers written in that language.

The fletching (feathers) on the arrow are supposed to be straight and even in order to keep it flying straight and true. As messed up as the feathers are on the arrow, it would have caused serious accuracy problems.
When the arrow that Colonel Crittendon shoots through Colonel Klink's hat hits the door, the guide wire for the arrow is clearly visible coming from the nock of the arrow.
Col. Crittendon refuses an order from Col. Hogan since he has more time in grade than Hogan. In reality, Hogan is the unit commander and his orders would stand, even against a 'higher' ranking officer.
During the introduction, while listening in on Klink's office, no one is watching the door to Hogan's office, which allows Schultz to walk in while the coffee pot was out and set up. It would have been a standing order that any time the coffee pot was in use, that someone would be watching the door.
