Thanks a lot, AS.

Can Sam say, "... you aroused my curiosity," to mean "... you got me wondering"?

Yes, but it is more formal.

"You got me wondering " is casual. Another meaning is "you caused me to go into a state of wondering"

The present participle is used because he is still in the process of wondering as he speaks. It started in the past (got) and is continuing.

You got me to wonder about my decision. - This happened in the past. The event is finished.
You always get me to think about my decisions. - This is habitual.
