just to make sure, I don't cause any confusion, that you convert your
perc to a 0-1 range instead of 0-100 

for your second q, you could do a find child op if you wish to
explicitly get that object by its name.
 
myCurve = ActiveSceneRoot.FindChild
("crvlist1").ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Curves(0)

that will enable you to do 
perc = myCurve.GetPercentageFrom(3.0)
