  1. The three circles seem uniquely fixed by the given triangle.
    How to construct the circles given the triangle?

  2. Let C'' be the exsimilitude center between the tangent circles through C'
    Monge-d'Alembert's theorem says that A',B' and C'' lie on line of course that point also lies on the common tangent AB.
    Similarly define A'' and B''
    Monge-d'Alembert's theorem also says that A'',B'' and C'' are aligned.
    Triangles ABC and A'B'C' are perspective with respect to the line A''B''C''.
    By Desarge's theorem, we can say that ABC and A'B'C' are perspective with respect to point P.
