Yes, the ArtifactBuilder(s) uses the local metadata to lookup the
endpoint location or index to include in the artifact, depending on
whether it's SAML 1 or 2, type 2 or 4, etc.

Yes, the list returned by getArtifactResolutionServices() is modifiable,
and so you just add the ArtifactResolutionService to that list, e.g.
idpSSODescriptor.getArtifactResolutionServices().add(ars).

That's a common pattern in the library.  Things that are collections on
an XMLObject are accessed via a modifiable Map, List, Set, etc that is
obtained from the parent object.
