1. You can't change the center point. You would typically rotate and then switch to the Translate Points tool to reposition them if necessary.
Or...Moho's tools are written as separate script files. Someone wrote a modified version of the Rotate Points tool that does allow you to change the center of rotation. You can find it here:

2. You can just plug in a multi-button mouse and use that. Macs understand right mouse buttons and scroll wheels, they just don't come with them. If you're going to stick with the one-button mouse, then Ctrl+click is the equivalent of a right mouse click.
