What is the half circle in fronk of the penelty area for?

All players, except the penalty taker must be at least 10 yards away from the penalty spot when the penalty is taken. As the Penalty Area extends 18 yards from the goal line, and the Penalty Spot is 12 yards from the goal line, the distance from the Penalty Spot to the edge of the Penalty Area can be as little as 6 Yards. The Arc - not half circle - marks the area outside the Penalty Area, that is within 10 yards of the Penalty Spot, and therefore outside which players must be when the penalty is taken

In both college and the NFL, personal fouls (such as unnecessary roughness, grabbing the facemask, clipping, roughing the passer/kicker) and unsportsmanlike conduct. In college, offensive pass interference is a 15 yard penalty and defensive pass interference is 15 yards if the foul occurred 15 or more yards past the line of scrimmage (otherwise, the ball is placed at the spot of the foul). In the NFL, offensive pass interference is a 10 yard penalty and, for defensive pass interference, the ball is placed at the spot of the foul.

What happens if a team has the ball first and ten on their 30 yard line and a pass is received at the 33 yard line and a player makes it to the 39 but a penalty flag is thrown at the 35 yard line?

Different penalties have different inforcments. Some are considered "spot fouls" and are inforced from the "spot" of the infraction. Others are continuation penalties and are enforced from the result of the play. SPOT FOUL: If it was offensive holding at the 35, the team would be penalized from the spot of the infraction...ball placed at the 25 yard line. CONTINUATION PENALTY: If it was defensive face mask (inadvertant), the offense would be given 5 yards onto the end of the run, 1st and 10 at the 44. A continuation penalty can not result in a touchdown. When the penalty is over half the distance to the goal, you are awarded "half the distance to the goal".
