Assalaamu Alaykum brother
First I would like to note that I am not a scholar! This is what I could produce from what I have learnt. So if anyone finds a mistake in what I have written, please correct me. Now to answer the first part of you concern:
A translation of the Holy Quran of Sura 6:92 by Yusuf Ali reads:
And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it: that thou mayest warn the mother of cities and all around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers.
According to this translation, the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing of Allah be upon him, to warn those is in the “mother of cities AND those around herâ€.
1-From my knowledge, this sura was revealed to the prophet (PBUH) in Makka. Al-`Awfi, `Ikrimah and `Ata’ said that Ibn `Abbas said, “Surat Al-An`am was revealed in Makkah” At-Tabarani recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, “All of Surat Al-An`am was revealed in Makkah at night, accompanied by seventy thousand angels, raising their voices in glorification of Allah” As-Suddi said that Murrah said that `Abdullah said, “Surat Al-An`am was revealed in the company of seventy thousand angels.” (my source: http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=6&tid=15024) We also know that the Prophet (PBUH) migrated to Madina from Makka. Many in Madina accepted Islam and many more verses were revealed to help guide the believers in Madina!
2-In addition, located in Madina at that time where the three Jewish tribes: the Banu Qaynuqa, the Banu Nadir, and the Banu Qurayza. These tribes established themselves in the Arab lands awaiting a Messenger from Allah. Alhamdulillah some from among these tribes did accept Islam although the majority opposed the Prophet (PBUH). We also know that the Prophet (PBUH) sent letters to the king of Persia and the emperor of Rome inviting them to Islam. If the Quran was meant only for the people of Makka then we would have to ask why the Prophet would invite others from outside of Makka to listen to what this Holy book has to say.
So, from these two points, and I am sure that there are many others, we can conclude that the Quran was in no way revealed only for the people of Makka.
Now to answer the second part
A translation of the Holy Quran of Sura Fussilat 41:44 by Yusuf Ali reads:
Had We sent this as a Qur’an (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: “Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?” Say: “It is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!”
It was revealed in Arabic because the people were Arabs and spoke for the most part Arabic. It would not make sense to send this revelation in any other language except the language that the people understood. Allah has described this best! Allahu Akbar!
I hope this helps. Allah (SWT) knows best.
