Similar concept, low cost prototyping / dev platform, different function.

Arduino's are more I/O interconnect boards.

They can expand functionality when paired with a PI but don't replace the PI and vice versa.
Yes and no, arduino often used for hardware interfacing/control where you don't need extra hardware and an operating system to get in the way, no video output. Ras Pi can run a variant of linux, has hdmi out, ethernet & sd memory, and is much more powerful.
