The arm rest is part of the panel, it all lifts off when you finally get the clips at the top to let go. They can be a pain if they've never been done before, but once you learn the trick, you can pull off a door panel in about 2 minutes. I had a rattling section of wood trim on my right rear door, and it took me longer to hunt for the right tool in the toolbox to tighten the nut on the back of the panel than it did for me to remove the panel in the first place.
You may be able to re-attach the plastic with some sort of glue, possibly one that will melt and weld the two plastic portions together - not sure how much stress that will be able to withstand though. I've been lucky, and only broken one clip on the driver's door map pocket.
