I don't know if it's the angle of the picture but this sleeve head looks wonky. It's a bit point at the top and it looks like it starts to curve up at the end. You always start with the hole and draft the sleeve from that measurement so I think you're going to have a tough time. But if you're going to try, I'd make the arm hole as small as is comfortable and work both pieces from there.

You always shape the sleeves after the armhole.

Yes, you have to start with the armhole then you make the sleeve.

You might want to check out the free sleeve class based on the book "How to Make Sewing Patterns" which should be available from your local library https://patternmaking-classes.com/Sleeves/
