Arriver v se passer

Bonsoir à tous,

In this section of text:

Mais après seulement quelques semaines, elle a commencé à s'épanouir : elle ne cachait plus sa bouche quand elle souriait, et on pouvait maintenant entendre sa voix clairement quand elle parlait, ce qui arrivait plus souvent qu'avant.

Can arriver and se passer be used interchangeably here? i.e. "ce qui se passait plus souvent qu'avant."

'se passait' wasn't given as an alternative option in the available correct answers.

Heureux also an adverbe?

In the sentence Ils ont vécu heureux pendant des nombreuses années, is heureux being used as an adverbe? Heureusement, the adverb, seems to mean luckily rather than happily. Is this so?
