I have an arc ultra, sub four and two era 300s that comprise my home theater surround system. As near as I can tell I should not need to add anything else, but I am wondering if I can.

The other thing I’m wondering about is can I take two era 100s Into an adjacent room for the purposes of listening to music or will that conflict with my surrounding system since the second room is very close to my surround system?

You can only add a second Sub to your home theatre setup. 
The volume in each room should drown out anything from the other room.

I have home theater rooms and music rooms, some in the same open-plan space and there is no system conflict with the multiple Rooms.

For music they are easy to Group together to fill the big space with sound.

For TV there is enough delay to be noticeable on the more distant additional speakers, the closer ones have enough impact on the HT Room I don't often Group them for TV. My other Rooms are separate enough the delay isn't noticable.

A single speaker, a “Bonded” pair, or a Bonded surround system is each known as a “Room”. Rooms can play independently or be “Grouped” to play the same music. You can also Group with a surround Room, however, TV audio in Grouped Rooms will be delayed slightly. This will be an issue if you are attempting to use this audio with another TV screen or if you are able to hear both areas.
