Labeling axis in π increments

If you really want to stick with tikz (although I would recommend you use pgfplots for graphing),you can: Use \pgfmathsetmacro to compute the appropriate x-axis location as a multiple of pi. Use \...

pgfmathsetmacro issue in foreach

After the definition via \pgfmathsetmacro, the macro \dest contains a real number (1.0, 2.0, ...), but very likely you need an integer. This can be achieved by using \pgfmathtruncatemacro instead of \...

ifthenelse inside TikZ: not working

An alternative approach would be the standard \ifnum construct combined with \pgfmathparse. Note that since 1.6 is a float, you must provide a tolerance. A simple \pgfmathparse{\y == 1.6 ? int(1) : ...

Draw all existing intersections

Apparently Tikz doesn't like when you extend the lines artificially using shorten >=-5cm so that's the problem. Your lines don't actually reach the circle, so there are no intersections. This is ...
