Re: straight line
I would start with a rectangle 228" x 60". Now draw a lines from the center of each long side perpendicular to the side 6" long. Draw an arc starting from one corner to the end of the 6" line then to the other end of the rectangle (enable snap to endpoints and center). There is your circular arc. Repeat other side. Trim away unwanted legs ot the rectangle with join vectors box checked.

Re: straight line
That's just a factor of the screen. If you zoom in and out you will see it change.
The actual toolpath preview on the 3D tab is also affected by the size of the material, size of the tool and the preview simulation quality.
