When I need to locate the IPs of devices by their mac address on a
Windows system, I normally use Advanced IP Scanner (from radmin.com)
to scan the network, then I use arp -a to list the mac addresses.
Is it possible to use nmap to perform the same function in Linux and
possibly in Windows? Can nmap to the scanning and produce both IPs and
MAC addresses?
I have tried arp -a in Linux but it doesn't seem to work as quickly as
in Windows or appears to require some use input.

You can use the Ping scans, which start with the P-flag. However, I personally use -sL for this job.
