This second point should be well addressed by the thread:

	API Shakeup: cairo_create and eliminating cairo_set_target_surface

The original confusion regarding the behavior of cairo_copy still
remains.

We discussed this and decided to simply eliminate the cairo_copy call.

Then, if a use case arises where some additional functions are needed,
(such as cairo_get/set_graphics_state), we can easily add them in the
future. But we don't know any compelling reason to do so now.
