I'm not going to answer your questions directly (yet), but here is the 'motor'
behind many radial operations in programming:

#declare Rot = 30; // degrees
#declare Rad = 1; // radius

// point of rotation 'Rot' with radius 'Rad' along the x-y plane
#declare RotatedPt =
  Rad*<
   sin(pi*2/360*Rot),
   cos(pi*2/360*Rot),
   0
  >;

Or, you could do it this way:

#declare RotatedPt = vrotate(y*Rad, -z*Rot);

Connecting two points amounts to just making two different points in this
manner!

Does this help?
