The radius of a circle is one half of the circle's diameter, any line going from the center of the circle to the circle itself. A line connecting other points on a circle (or on any curve) is called a chord.

No, it would be half the distance it traveled the first time. Like say these lines represent your circle. ----^---- -------- the snail would be at the end of the first line if it goes halfway around, but if it goes halfway back, it would be where the ^ is, only half the trip.
