Can the Andromeda galaxy have more gravity than the milky way?
They are both spiral galaxies, except the Milky Way is a barred spiral and the Andromeda is a typical spiral galaxy. The Andromeda has at least twice as many stars as the Milky Way, and it has more mass. The galaxies are going to merge in 4 billion years, and now they are about 2 million light years apart.
Why is there more gravity in the Andromeda galaxy compared to the milky way?
There isn't "more gravity" in the Andromeda galaxy, because that's essentially a meaningless phrase. It used to be believed that the Andromeda galaxy was larger and more massive than the Milky Way. It's still thought to be larger (in terms of the number of stars), but the Milky Way may actually be more massive. It's hard for scientists to tell how exactly how big the Milky Way is because we're inside it and "can't see the forest for the trees".

How is Andromeda and the Milky Way the same?
They are pretty similiar mass, Milky Way maybe has more mass, but the Milky Way indeed beats it in size. Milky Way is 258,000ly in diameter. Andromeda is 220,000 ly, Andromeda and the Milky Way are like twins.

Why can astronomers see the spiral arm of the Andromeda galaxy more clearly than the spiral arms of the milky way galaxy?
It's to do with where you are trying to view from. We are inside the Milky Way Galaxy looking out whilst the Andromeda Galaxy is a distance and we are looking towards it. Imagine your are stood in a crowd of people it's difficult to work out the exact shape of the crowd however if you were in a helicopter looking down on it you could.
