Not really.  The dominant terrain determines it (B.1).  B.1 says that
"usually" the dominant terrain will contain the hex centre dot, but I think
that's just blind optimism on the part of the rules.

That's kind of a different question, since roads are never really "dominant
terrain" -- they either exist in the hex or they don't.  Hex A5 of every
non-river/non-desert/non-Deluxe geomorphic board is a road hex, even though
the road only runs along the hexside.

To answer the specific questions: Nothing special.  Either or both (it
doesn't matter).  No.
