Only a few scales are not identical to the major scale, like the diminished and the full tone. Besides, once you master the one scale all over the board, you can easily move notes around to fit your fancy. For instance if your slide your major scale up, you can modulate. Arpeggios are another ball game altogether, and I would recommend the study of arpeggios by itself.
Of course, but if you start the scale on the second note, you have the first mode, on the third note the second mode etc. The relative minor is identical to the fourth major, etc.
blues scale is part of the scale, 1-3-5-6-8 notes of the scale. So when you learn one scale, you know the blues scale also. :)

Well if you do learn the one scale, you do know them all, even if you don't know it yet... :)
