Assuming the subnet is 192.168.0.0/24:
nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24
should populate the ARP table.

I thought about that, but it's only
useful for mapping back from the MAC address and that would
only work if the computers are talking directly using local
addresses. Only the attacking computer would have an arp
entry for the target computer. If the target does not
normally have any communication with the attacker, it won't
have an entry for it. If he has access to the gateway
computer, then that would more likely have an arp entry for
the attacker.
Well since arp is only on the LAN and since LAN communication is
arp based the tcpdump packets will
have the MAC address of the device on the local network from
which the ssh packets were routed through.
I'm not sure what you're saying. Yes, the packets will have the
MAC address of the sending device. But the local arp table will
most likely not have an entry for that MAC address. So you will
have to try to track down the device only by the MAC and not by
IP. The DHCP server would be a good place to look for that.
An ARP lookup is only done on sending, not receiving. Since the
incoming IP address is not local, there will be no ARP request
made for the reply because it will be sending it to the default
gateway. (There might be an ARP request for the gateway if the
entry is stale.)
