Your problem seems to be naturally soved by the State monad, therefore
you should use that.

Unimportant.  However, I'd recommend switching from application ($,|>) to
composition (.,>>>) where possible.  It's "more functional" and often
easier to read.

Not at all.  You might define >>> locally as

	f >>> g = \x -> g (f x)

or just pretend that this definition is contained in Control.Arrow due
to a historical accident, thereby completely ignoring the existence of
other arrows.
