Rather than just answer the two examples given - which I can as I have a working knowledge of ARINC 424 conventions - I tried to find something useful. Try reading this: http://www.keilir.net/static/files/F...manual-kka.pdf Page 80 onwards answers the two specific queries, plus many more, and the whole document will probably teach you a lot.

Our FMS manual (UNS-1 ESp) would not answer these queries, so I'm not sure if the Honeywell one would (though I'll find out soon!)

What complicates it further is that these terms are used as ARINC 424 Leg Types (Course to a Fix and Course to Intercept) but are not the same.
