So when Ismael (peace be upon him) married into a people in the Becca, they were non Arabs?
There are two types of Arabs, (maybe three now).
The Old Arabs who originate from Yemen and travelled north. Then you have Arabs from Ismael and his marriages to Arab girl(s) (peace be upon him) do remember that Ismael and Abraham were not Arabs (it is reflected in the grammar of their names). These are sometime known as the assimilated Arabs as they are not the original, of course from this lineage came the most pre-eminent Arab time the Quraysh (by that time, his descendants married into Arabs and spoke their language and became Arabs).
And since then, you have cultural/lingustic arabs like many of Egypt, Syria and North Africa....who may not have any patrilineal descent to Ismael (peace be upon him).
So what I am trying to say is that Arabs existed before Ismael (Peace be upon him) and were distinct in lineage to Abraham (peace be upon him).Therefore it is possible to still be Arab (even by blood) and not have descent to Abraham (peace be upon him). Technically.
Unfortunately not.
Arabs started at Ishmael, and Israel started at Jacob son of Isaac. Both sons of Abraham.
These Yemenite Arabs of Hadramaot are Arab clans (sub parts that make up the Arab Tribe) descending from Ishmael. The ancient Quraish (clan) trace their lineage back to Abraham, via Ishmael.
