Those are two separate problems combined into one. You had better
look at each on its own. First find out what's the behaviour of
"point along the segment offset by an interpolated vector" in 3D.
Once you know that, you can project it onto a plane.

Without carrying out all the maths, I think the result will be another
straight line segment.
