Why was Arthur Miller questioned in the movie?

For his play The Crucible. Similar to George Orwell's Animal Farm, this play pointed out a problem in society through a story that everyone could understand:It emphasized the factor of fear involved in "witch hunts" of their own day and age, and the unfairness and lack of logic or reason behind the Red Scare. Led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, the Red Scare involved fear of communism during the time of the Cold War. Shortly after the play was published, Miller was blacklisted for creating a work that indirectly undermined Senator McCarthy's judgment and authority.

What did senator Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare of the 1950s have to do with The Crucible?

The Crucible is a tale of the Salem witch hunts during the days before the founding of the United States. The story, by playwright Arthur Miller, is an allegory on Joseph McCarthy and the hunt for Communists in the 1950's. The play is intended to convey that McCarthy, like the witch hunters, was persecuting innocent people and profiting from public hysteria. It was later suggested by Soviet archives (and the data of the Venona Project) that some of McCarthy's targets were in fact guilty of being enemy agents.
