Is Barack Obama Arab?
No. (excuse me, but is every person who has ever lived in Kenya an African? Also, are all Kenyan's African?") His biological father is a black Kenyan and his mother is white and from Kansas. The claims that Obama's father was Arabic rather than black are a complete fabrication. And President Obama was born in Hawaii, making him 100% American.
Is you were born in Africa and live in America are you African American?
No, there are other criteria. There are many ethnicities represented in Africa. If an Afrikaner were to move to America, he would not be referred to as an African-American. To be an African-American, a person would need to be of Congoid (Black African) ancestry but born in America. It is puzzling how, from a distance, anybody can know which continent a person was born on but, because "Black" and "Negro" fell out of favor, the term is used rather loosely to describe anybody of Congoid (also called Negroid) ancestry who happens to be in the United States.

The French didn't segregate soldiers based on race or color.
How many people in Africa are African-American?
Not a significant number. Though some could consider those in Liberia to be the most "african-american", since Liberia was established to send black slaves from the US "back" to Africa. To be African-American presumably means that your ancestry is in Africa and you are in America. This is a rather outdated term and not descriptive, however, since most "African-Americans" living in America know little of their ancestry in Africa and as are established in America as any other person. They feel the same culture shock, etc, while in Africa.

Would an African of American descent be called an American African?
Probably not, though the usage is somewhat undefined.In a combination of terms of this type, the first word (in the case of "American African", this is "American") is usually an adjective and the second ("African") is a noun. In English usage, the first indicates the source ancestry, and the second the place a person is associated with, usually by birth.So an Irish American is a person born, or at least raised, in the United States, with Irish ancestry. There is variation in what this means, as all US residents seem to be Irish Americans on St. Patrick's Day.And a French Canadian is a person born in Canada, but of French ancestry.But an American African would be rather too unspecific, I think. There are many countries in Africa, and I would expect the noun part of the term would refer to a nation, rather than a continent. So a person might be an American Liberian, a Liberian of American descent.The term African American (note reversed order) is somewhat exceptional, as it implies things that are only evident given a historic context. Most dictionaries define the term as an American of Black African descent, or even an American of sub-Saharan Black African descent. Some African Americans want to go farther, saying that to be truly African American, a person has to be descendant from people who were slaves in the old South, which would make Michelle Obama African American but Barack Obama not. But this is not a universally accepted idea, which, from a linguistic point of view, makes it nonstandard usage.
