If I wipe out my HDD and get a different HDD for my 360, can I still login under my name and have all my achievements and points and whatever? Just not the game saves? Also can I go back and get all my XBL Arcade games without paying for them again?

Yes, you just need to use the "Recover Gamertag" option on the Sign In screen. This downloads the gamertag + achievements intact to the new hard drive.

But don't they ask you for a bunch of stuff like a credit card number and stuff?

No, just password and security question I think, or possibly the live account linked to that gamertag.

When you buy a new hard drive, it comes with a transfer cable. You simply have both hard drives connected. One on top like normal, and one connected with the supplied cable. The transfer is painless, and you get every last bit of info: saved games, online profile, achievements...everything.
