It is a disturbed, two-armed, barred spiral. The blue clumps are star forming regions in the galaxy.

What are the blue dots - protostars or ???

Too big to protostars, but likely star making regions from the shocks induced from the merger, very cool image.

Yes, each blob is like the 30 Doradus nebula (a.k.a. Tarantula Nebula) in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Two arms from a long straight core. Strange. Interesting. Much to learn.
