No, especially with it only being a Level IIA vest I don't think it'll be stopped. As was noted most vests especially on the lower end protection wise are not stab rated.
I would say no way. Not without a hard trauma plate. I once shot a crossbow bolt through a gigantic terra-cotta pot filled with packed dirt and woody roots. It went clean through the pot (at least 24") and buried itself so deeply into the ground that we decided not to even dig for it. Crossbow bolts are serious. Time to watch the video now I guess. :D
Kevlar has to be cut during the soft armor production process. A sharp object should be expected to penetrate soft armor.
Without watching the video first, I believe it will penetrate soft body armor. Most broadheads have a stout chisel point which means a lot of psi on a very small area...
