Could an ordinary Arduino function as an Ardupilot with the Ardupilot code and maybe some other addons/modifications? What sets the Ardupilot far apart from an Arduino? If anyone has any ideas on what addons/modifications need to be made with hardware or software please respond ASAP!

What sets the Ardupilot apart is that it is a system, not just a single board. The actual ArduPilot board is cheaper than an Arduino board. But you need a lot more than that board to have an autopilot. The sensors cost a lot more than the processor.
The ArduPilot board is much better than an Arduino board as a base for the system because of having an integrated failsafe/multiplexor, as well as a bunch of other things.
Spend a little time reading the ArduPilot manual and looking at the various bits of hardware in the DIYDrones store and you will understand better.
