Edited to add:
The only time we indicate the down over our heads is if the ball came loose and the offense recovered.
As to your question on transition, I would drop my hand as, or before, I turned. As I was going to the sideline, I would give the down at eye level, not over my head. Personally, I would look goofy jogging toward the sideline with my hand over my head.

Instead of indicating the spot, why not just verbalize it. This works especially well to sell the call when close to the line to gain.
Our association is ok with turning if the wing is all the way to the hash. It's ok to turn and jog back instead of backpeddling that far. It's not neccessarily reccomended, but it is accepted.
