Unclear what you want for the arrow, but why not use something like Epilog -> Arrow[{{0,0},{x,y}}] within the PolarPlot? You'll need to explain just what you want in order to specify the {x,y} of the head end. And since you use dynamic terminology "moves outward", presumably you'll want either a Manipulate where the angle is the control variable, or an equivalent DynamicModule version of that.
