Can a sram rival crank arm be used to replace a shimano ultegra crank? Also will dura ace front shifters work properly with the Sram?

You can interchange cranks and chain/cassettes as much as you want between Shimano and SRAM brands. But the other components (derailleurs/shifters) can not be mixed. Well, you can kind of mix the front derailleurs, but the performance is not always optimal.

Is the bottom bracket fitting the same for a Sram and Shimano crank arm?

Generally: No. There might be a couple of combinations where it’s nearly right; but if you want things to work the way Shimano or SRAM intended, you should get the proper bottom bracket to match your crank, and to fit your frame.

+1. Sram GXP spindle has a smaller diameter on non drive side. Mix compatibility only works for front shifter and FD…Rear will not be.
