Hard to add to what ffbob said really. Radials radiate.
You could rephrase your initial statement from...
"you are flying a VOR radial of 90 Degrees TO"
...into...
"you are flying along the 090 radial Towards the VOR"
and your last sentence from...
"or is this now classified as a 270 FROM radial"
...into...
"or is this now classified as the 270 radial"
