Yes ND and arp are basically the same. Actually Linux is calling the V4
stuff ND, also.
The problem with IPv6 Auto Configuration (with announced prefixes) is, that
this is only specified for a /80. This means, if you want to have multiple
broadcast domains, all subnet at least must be a /80.
Personally I would like to have a auto configuration on /112 (or whatever
small network size) with some means of Duplicate Address Detection instead
of using MAC Address.
For one it scales better for smaller networks and it also automatically uses
an anonymous (random) mode, so the issues with tracking computers while web
browsing (based on mac) are gone, too.
But on the other hand, just use DHCP also works.
