Point select mode, merge surfaces, re-parametrize

Hello

First of all, thanks for this beautiful piece of software. Well now a few questions.

1: any chance to have "component mode" in MOI, similar to DCC apps. Mode which allows manipulation of points and nothing else. When tweaking points, I found somewhat hard to avoid the incidental move of other, unwanted objects. Dragging from the left towards the right helps a bit, but not completely. Hiding the faces helps a bit more, but then I have no visual feedback.

2: merge surfaces: any way to do that in MOI. I mean, just simple point-to-point merge ( not some complex re-sampling mechanism) let's say if I want to merge the mirrored copy of object - even on price of changing the shape in merging area.

3: re-parametrize surface or curve: any way for this MOI. Here I'm considering the method in Softimage or Maya, where, "uniform re parametrization" acts similar to morphing of uniformly distributed grid, with same UV point count, to another, curved surface. I've tried to misuse the "flow" command for this purpose, but it seems that "flow" don't want to go in this simple way ( simple way = no re - sampling). Yeah I read on this forum, that point tweaking is not preferred way in MOI. Anyway, if already is possible to tweak points, together with all that nice snapping options - there should be a way to avoid the strange curvature, as result of some heavy re-positioning of points.

And.... finally, is there any :) construction operator in this software, which does not perform all that rebuilding, re-sampling, whatever.. under the hood. It takes me a good time to get familiar with these behaviors.
