Cacti grow arms, also known as branches or paddles, to increase their surface area for photosynthesis and to store water more efficiently in their harsh desert environment.
Although some Saguaro cacti never grow arms, those that grow arms do so between the ages of 50 to 100 years. The size of this cacti and the number of arms is due to factors, such as soil and rainfall. Saguaro cacti grow in the Sonoran Desert of the United States.

Cacti do grown in many desert mountain areas. They usually do not grow on the higher peaks, however.
It just depends on the genus/species, but if you bought a cactus from a home improvement store and it was small it will grow to be large depending on the genus/species. Most of the cacti sold at home improvement stores are cacti that grow to be large.
Cacti adapt to their environment by growing arms to increase their surface area for photosynthesis and to store water more efficiently.
