What are the best arguments for free will? The whole concept seems bizarre to me. How is free will possible when the universe is causal? All my decisions must come from something. If it is my brain, it is just following the laws of physics. If I have a soul, is it not still a cause? How can I bring effects into the universe that could not have been predicted?
Free will is the percept that your actions have been enacted by you i.e. it's just another word for self-awareness.

By your definition, it seems as if animals have free will, too. By free will, I mean the ability to choose between A or B with no internal or external causes affecting deciding my choice.

Most animals are not capable of self-awareness, but, yes, those that are possess free will.
You are determined to determine yourself. You are your own "local processor" of causality. With respect to yourself, you have free will. You can't be any more "free" than you already you are: you decide to move your hand, you move it.
