Arnold said he's got help from lots of people and it's very likely that most of them didn't get anything in return. Were these people adept of ethical egoism, none of them would've helped him.

That's a common belief about Ayn Rand, but it's not correct. As long as they enjoyed helping him, or at least wanted to help him, she would not have objected in the slightest.

Agreed. First paragraph here captures her viewpoint.
