Have you forgotten that a modifier key can be depressed to enable snapping to precise increments of rotation? That increment presently is a fixed 15 degrees, but it could be one degree or whatever else a user chooses, as I've explained.

Must we go through this again? I have already explained that your method for calculating the angle does not take into account the mapping between screen & document coordinates, & why if that is done it would not work well for small rotational increments. The rotation center is (assuming snapping was done to set it) already defined in document coordinates, but the pointer's position is not. That has to be taken into account.

You are looking at this from the wrong angle, if you'll pardon the pun.

Who, me?

Seriously though, after several cups of coffee finally kicked in, I have to agree that you are right & it is only the relative screen positions of the rotation center & pointer that would matter for this.
