Point 1 - Yes there are. Circuit races on loop courses that are not classified as Critierums (ie, no full road closure) are still deemed Road Races by definition.
Point 2 - A cat 5 can earn novice points in Cat 4/5 combined races. Those points count toward Cat 3 upgrade so long as its within a 12 month period IIRC.
