Please extend the plugin AddrInterpolation. (Add another menu item if
you like.)

Not really, most of the more complicated calculations are in screen
coordinates (projected coordinates to be precise). However, you can get
the "spherical" distance of two points in LatLon.greatCircleDistance.

Some stuff is in Geometry.java. For a way parallel to another street,
the following classes might be useful: MapPainter.OffsetIterator and
ParallelWays.
