So is the fossil a polar bear or a brown bear? Are they saying that because they found a brown bear fossil in the artic, that must be that polar bears descended from brown bears? Or is this a polar bear fossil that hold DNA elements of the brown bear? Or can the species breed and it be an offspring of the two?

This article explains nothing.

Don’t blame the scientists. Remember, you’re reading the words of a journalist, not a scientist.
