  open System.Xml.Linq;;
  ----------------^^^^

stdin(2,17): error FS0039: The namespace 'Linq' is not defined.

'seq' is a lazily-evaluated construct; it could be infinite, which is why FSI only shows the first few values. If you want to see it all, an easy thing to do is convert to a list, e.g.

printf "%A" (squares |> Seq.tolist)

C# – How to use C# object from F#

try

open MyMath
let arith = Arith() // create instance of Arith
let x = arith.Add(10, 20) // call method Add

Arith in your code is class name, you cannot open it like namespace. Possibly you are confused with ability to open F# modules so its functions can be used without qualification
