for a root bone (i.e. one without a parent) bone.fAngle is absolute; for a child bone bone.fAngle is relative to its parent so (e.g.) two bones - one root, one child - pointing down will have angles 270 and 0 respectively.

those are relative to the layer; so if (e.g.) the layer is rotated in z by (say) 90 then bone.fAngle is unchanged, but the bone will be pointing to the right - i.e. world 90+270 (or that mod 360 = 0)

as for vectors that don't start from {0,0} ... well at the risk of totally misunderstanding what you're thinking here ... an LM_Vector2 has an x value and y value, so if you want your vector to start at {X0, Y0} and go to {X1, Y1} you can store those two vectors exactly like that - or if you have a vector that is {dX, dY} wrt {0,0} then X1=X0+dX, Y1=Y0+dY - either store dX,dY and remember to add - or add and store the result
