Question regarding VOR needles.

I don't have any question regarding tuning a frequency, changing the course to set a radial and intercepting it.
Outbound stays the same, and inbounds becomes the reciprocal.
Is very straight forward.

However I do have a ques regarding ONLY looking at the VOR needle.
If you were flying a heading of 360 and found the tail of the VOR needle at 050.
Now if ATC told you to intercept radial 010, you would turn left to PULL that 050 radial to 010 and then come back to intercept it?
Firstly. Is this correct?
Secondly how many degrees would yo turn?

Also just to clarify for myself. The tail is always the radial correct?

Thanks guys.
