How to calculate gas and storage for an operation?
There's no other way, you have to simulate what the operation does if you want to estimate this value, and this is exactly what a dry run does. You could try to reimplement it outside of a node, but ...

What is the difference between fee and gaslimit?
In Tezos, the fee is independant from the gas : whatever the gas consumed, you always pay the full fee.

What is the difference between fee and gaslimit?
The full fee is always paid for every transactions - the gas limit is just that, a cap on the amount of gas a given transaction can consume. A baker can be guaranteed that they are paid at least fee/...

Why does the addition of a new key-value pair to a big_map not incur a storage fee at all times?
That may happen when someone removes data from the storage before your operation, releasing some space, so that the contract has a kind of "prepaid" space, for which storage fee won't be ...

Why were so many Tezos burned in this transaction?
The main reason is the storage diff resulted from the transaction.
Adding 380 items to a big map at once is very expensive.
For your use case, storing the corner coordinates should be enough.

Increase gas_limit for tz1 to tz1 transfers
You can set the gas limit to whatever you want. Say 20000. Tezos will only consume however much it needs. If it only needs 5000, then it'll only consume 5000, not 20000.
