It amazes me that these impacts aren't more frequent!

I wouldn't know for sure but they probably have some sort of contingency plan in case that happens. Maybe someone here might know and can enlighten us?

If it happens to you on a spacewalk, you're dead. Simple as that. Odds are it won't happen to you in the few hours it takes to conduct the space walk, but it's always a risk.

It came from the rocket itself, it wasn't a risk to damage the dragon. Sensational garbage from the sun.

Any idea what velocity/speed that this space junk may have been traveling?

It wasn't tracked beforehand so it's impossible to say, but the relative velocity to ISS could have been thousands of miles per hour depending on the inclination of its orbit prior to impact relative to ISS. There's no exit wound on the arm apparently so it might not have even been all that large which would also explain why it wasn't tracked beforehand.
