1. Yes, it's all about the angles. Generally as the C I stay with my heels just inside the inner boundary line, but if I was straightlined with a pair of players I'm watching, then I'll move onto the court more to get a better view.
2. Like the others said, it's tough to say without seeing the actual play, but it sounds like incidental contact to me, unless the ref saw something beyond what you describe. It really looks bad when this happens and players get floored or crash pretty bad, but that's just the way it happens sometimes.
