OT: Is there any way for someone to see my MAC address over the internet?

[Alex Tweedly]

But ARP requests remain local to the subnet, so they aren't visible 
beyond the first router hop (except by talking to the admin process on 
the router). So it can be seen by all other hosts on the wifi network, 
but not (directly) by the rest of the internet.
