I'm pretty sure when scanning Kodi will set local thumb and fanart, if found in the parent folder. Scraping will add the url to any other art, but you have to go into the artist info dialog and select the remote art. Artist slideshow addon will use artist name and MBID to search for fanart for now-playing song artist and save it (if selected in addon settings) locally. CDArt Manager NG also has an art download capability, but I haven't really looked at that addon in years (it used to assemble its own MBID library and ignore the Kodi library ones, don't know if it still does that).
