1 Seems you must use the "Helpers lines" so your arcs by 3 pts can be anywhere ;) 
call arc and don't release but click & move the mouse for draw any "helpers line" (even between the 3 clicks) 
so your 3 points can be anywhere in the 3D space!
  
2 yes :) Select arc / Transform / Rotate as you want normal or by axe
 
3 yes : same 1 :)
 
PS "Helpers line" can be used with any functions!
