Yes, they are both arthropods.

Their main differences are that millipedes have two pairs of 'legs' per body segment and are not poisonous. Centipedes have only one pair per segment and they can be poisonous.

Millipedes and Centipedes are not the same although they apparently look similar . It is why once they were classified as a group Myriapoda. But now Myriapoda is not valid taxonomic category .Now they are separate classes of sub phylum Uniramia .

Millipedes are included in class Diplopoda , they have 4 legs in each apparent segment and areround in C.S.

Sentipedes are included in class Chilopoda , they have one pair of legs per segment and are oval in C.S.

No, they are not arachnids. They belong to a different subphylum of arthropods - myriapods (many feet).
