How much does it cost to have the lowering springs installed usually? I don't think I will be tackling that project myself..lol! Does camber control how the tires are tow in/out? What does the camber arm do and do you need this?

They control the camber angle of the wheel. If you were to look at the left wheel from the rear:

/ / that would be negative camber
\ \ positive camber
| | no camber
I think....

If you camber settings are off, then one part of the tire touches the road much more than the other, and it wears out much faster. And it wont handle as well. A camber arm allows you to adjust the camber, because the stock one isnt adjustable. They are pretty simple to install if you have the right tools.
