why was Neeson's character being arrested in the beginning.

The war was over long enough for him to be home and able to go back to farming which was the normal outcome for most soldiers of the South.

What was Brosnan's character looking for? I may have missed something because I thought he was asking Neeson "where are your men".

I watched the extras on the DVD and I was surprised that the entire film was shot in New Mexico since I thought they would have to visit a few states to get that variety of scenery.

Yes, the war was over. Brosnan was looking for Neeson's men and a cannon.

Brosnan and his men were looking for rebel/confederacy soldiers that didn't want to give up, even though the war was over, and could possibly restart the war or just cause trouble for the union soldiers...

They (Brosnan's men) probably acted on rumours or "friendly" neighbourly tips, which in this case were incorrect.
