Connecting Connect:amp

I have a sonos arc connected with hdmi arc to my tv. If I get a connect amp and use it with my (non Sonos) ceiling speakers connected through an optical cable to my tv will it work?

The Connect:Amp doesn’t have an optical input.

To use a Connect:Amp to drive your ceiling speakers as surrounds there has to be a wired connection to the Arc. See https://support.sonos.com/s/article/2237

Can only one pair of non Sonos speakers be connected to this connect amp

No, you can connect 2 pairs of 8 Ohm speakers.  The min impedance is 4 Ohm.  (2 pairs of 8 Ohm speakers is the equivalent of  one pair of 4 Ohm speakers)

It depends on their impedance. The combined impedance must be at least 4 ohms.
