Yes, you can use Arduino IDE while developing a product, but it is not directly related to patenting.

Arduino IDE is only used to write and upload code to your hardware.
When you apply for a patent, what matters is your idea, design, and working concept, not the software tool you used.

Yes. The arduino ide does not impact any intellectual property. Whatever you write in it is your own.
