To immobilize an upper arm with a fracture start with the elbow. Next place is the shoulder and then the wrist. Trying to keep the injured party calm is very important and seek medical attention immediately.

Will a stress fracture of upper aspect of humerus resolve itself?

Yes and no. The body will repair itself to the best of its ability, but this can cause serious problems afterward. Yes it will, but medical attention is still needed to immobilize the area where the stress fracture is until it heals on it's own. I fractured a bone in my left ankle and all they did was put a tensor bandage on it and handed me crutches. It did heal on it's own, but as I grew older I do have some arthritis in that area, but nothing I can't handle without medication. The doctor that attended to me said a clean break was better than a fracture. HUH? No one wants either.
