Ah, no, good point.

Yes, but which end depends how you made the selection -- using
either click-and-drag or shift-arrow keys it's at the point at
which you initiated the selection; if you select a word, line or
buffer using multiple clicks it's always at the start of the
selection. In both cases the caret position seems logical, so
would be an appropriate choice for current page.

Yes, I often wish a 'Print sheet' sub-dialogue were available in
all imposition modes. I seem to remember you extended 'Printers
pairs' mode to include this when I commented that it was
available for 'Pamphlet' mode but not for the
similar-but-more-useful 'Printers pairs' mode. But a 'Print
current sheet' button would be easier to put into practice,
printing the current page when in 'Normal' mode, or the sheet
containing the current page when in 'Pamphlet', 'Printers pairs',
'Galley', 'Booklet' modes, etc.

Pity there's no command in the RISC OS version which would enable
this -- I can't find anything in the script language manual.
