Could the Russian fleet go via northern route to Port Arthur instead of via Cape of Good Hope?

Absolutely no. The first time when the North-East passage was made in one navigation (that is in less that one year) was in 1932 using icebreakers. And this was just an experimental expedition. In 1905 Russia had no enough icebreakers of sufficient power, not even mentioning other difficulties, like coaling stations on the way.
