I thought this is already said plainly in the episode? The arm is an oddity left by her deceased mother in order to teach her not to be dependent on such things in times of need. She must learn to cope and work out things for herself. (Not exactly the method I would use if I were her father, but ok...)

I'm not sure why the paw just turns out to be a Rainey Devil myself. It just seems too convenient for the writer to simply insert this revelation as a twist of sorts, but the simplest explanation would be her parents had probably mistaken it for a Monkey's Paw due to its similarities with the Rainey Devil.
