Can Supreme Court justices be impeached, or is the only check on them the appointment process?

All federal judges can be impeached. One or two Supreme Court justices have been impeached, but none were ever convicted. Several lower court justices have been impeached and convicted.

Can a SCOTUS justice be arrested for criminal acts?

Yes.

Actually, only one SCOTUS justice has ever been impeached— Samuel Chase, in 1801, and he was acquitted.
