This is already done.

kbool is a *very* powerfull library

polygon/kbool/samples/boolonly has a useful example. (see also 
kbool/include/kbool/booleng.h and its comments)

1 - create a bool engine instance
see void ArmBoolEng( Bool_Engine* aBooleng, bool aConvertHoles ) in 
polygon/PolyLine.cpp

a " Bool_Engine" has 2 polygons buffers: GROUP_A and GROUP_B
for operation involving only one polygon GROUP_A is used (shrink 
smooth ..)
for operation involving two polygon GROUP_A and GROUP_B are used ( 
AND OR (ADD) XOR SUBSTRACT... operations)

2 - enter main polygon(s) (like area outline) in GROUP_A
3 - enter polygons to ADD , SUBSTRACT ... in GROUP_B, polugon by polygon
4 - Call Do_Operation()
5 - read the resulting polygon(s)

see zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons.cpp as an example.

> 2. How to determin if the point is inside or outside of the polygon
See my last update:
polygon/polygon_test_point_inside.cpp (updated comments inside) and 
polygon/determine_if_point_inside_polygon.odt
