I'm not a rules expert, but I know the answer here. She won't have any effect on Bob or Necropotence but will prevent players from drawing extra cards with Phyrexian Arena. Players using arena will still lose one life every turn, too. Unless the card specifically has the word "draw", it doesn't actually count as drawing a card.
Also, it's important to note that opponents can still draw one card on your turns with, say, Underworld Connections. They can't use Connections on their own turn though, and if they control more than one, they can only activate one of them per turn.
If the player casting the Brainstorm has already drawn a card this turn, they will put two cards from their hand on top of their library. If they haven't, they will draw one card, then put two cards from their hand on top of their library.

Well, actually, it really doesn't affect a single Arena at all...though it does affect the draw step after that upkeep.

Wow, that's harsh. Turns Brainstorm into a huge liability. It doesn't just counter it, it turns it into a Mind Rot essentially.
1) Dark Confidant
2) Necropotence
3) Phyrexian Arena

True. I was lazy explaining that part, but I get the impression that the questioner would have understood that.
