They could not arm themselves. Odysseus and Telemachus saw to it that no weapons remained in the room before Odysseus began shooting his arrows, and Telemachus began striking with his sword.

Yes, Odysseus did tell Penelope to remarry once their son Telemachus could grow a beard. This was a way of ensuring that Penelope would wait for him during his long absence at the Trojan War, knowing that Telemachus would be a grown man by the time he returned.
In the Odyssey, Odysseus shows his superior physical strength by stringing his bow easily, which no other suitor could do, and Telemachus could barely have done.
Telemachus is shocked and initially doesn't believe his father is truly Odysseus, as he has been away for so long and looks different. Eventually, he is convinced by certain signs and recognizes him as his father. They embrace and weep together.
on line 420, Odysseus tells Telemachus that he could shoot string the bow because he was still strong....i hope this helped
Telemachus....he would have strung the bow if his father had not stopped him.antinous
