Hi propmaster,

re:
> Is there a way to turn on construction lines while in point mode?

In a sort of roundabout way, yes - if when doing a "point on curve" drag if you move the mouse outside the viewport and then release it while outside you can then go in and drag some construction lines before clicking the final target point.

Unfortunately basically you don't - that's a general difficulty when using that type of model strategy of building all the final edges and then surfacing it in a "patch by patch" manner.

In Rhino you could try the MatchSrf command to adjust some surfaces to be continuous with neighboring ones. It can be quite difficult though to get an irregular juncture spot to be tuned up on all sides though. Sub-d modeling can generally work better for generating a smooth-all-over type result from irregular topology.
