The behavior you observed is perfectly normal. To understand it, I suggest you to read section Creating a Picture Using an Environment of the TikZ & PGF Manual (for the manual corresponding to PGF/TikZ 3.1.3 [current], pages 126 and 127 should be most interesting to you).
Basically, a tikzpicture environment produces a box for TeX, similar to a ...

This will place a node at the middle of the current page (you need to compile twice):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
\node[draw] at (current page.center) {Here I am!};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

This is an extended comment on Zarko's answer, which I write because we had this discussion several times. I make this a community Wiki to make clear that I am not interested in "stealing reputation points". I am, however, interested in providing the OP with something that follows the rules of the pgfmanual. The pgfmanual says on p. 166.
I have not seen as ...

with path picture= you can to node with circle shape add desired lines and signs:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nccmath}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta, % changed
calc, chains, % new
positioning, % new
quotes % new
}
\newcommand\ppbb{path picture bounding ...

I think to have at least partly solved the problems, if not completely. First of all, you cannot expand loops in the way you tried to. The following version of \drawitem defines the loop lists depending on the first argument
\newcommand*\drawitem[3]%
{%
\ifnum#1=0
\edef\mylist{}
\else
\ifnum#1=1
\edef\mylist{0,1}
\else
\edef\mylist{1,...,#1}
\fi

Overview
You have a brace matching problem, and the divisions on the x and y vectors were written in a way that isn't supported by TikZ. The following works for me. I have removed your +b argument specifier, since you don't use this argument at all.

Here are threefour examples of things that are much harder to achieve in the macro approach. The first three examples have been translated to macros in the revised question.
