A reference to a pointer still points to the same object.

To copy it means to do the same as within the last message, but creating empty/objects collections and create properties on the fly iwth ADDPROPERTY

To restore use the very same code. ADDPROPERTY on a property existing simply changes the value of the property.

Same problems as above, except you don't need to care about SET POINT etc.
