    Is there a way to get the ABSOLUTE window position?

XTranslateCoordinates.

    Since I would like to get information about what direction to extend the
    drawings, the situation complicates if I have a sequence of RESIZE, MOVE,
    RESIZE.

I don't understand.  Your decision should be independent of what gestures
the user might have made to resize the window.
