What layer does ARP operate at?

ARP is protocol that doesn't fit nicely into the OSI model. It's not a layer two protocol because it utilizes Ethernet_II (Data Link) to get around with broadcast addresses (FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF). It's also not a layer three protocol because it doesn't provide routing capabilities. It maps layer 2 addresses to corresponding layer 3 addresses. So you could say it's 2.5. It is encapsulated within Ethernet_II frames.

Is ARP the core protocol responsible for logical addressing?

The structure of the question is meant to trick you because 'logical addressing' is being used loosely. Technically, IP is the CORE protocol responsible for logical addressing. ARP is the network layer protocol that is used to discover the identity(physical address) of a machine whose IP address you know. Very briefly, it does this by creating a database that maps the MAC address to the (hosts') logical address provided.
