I think these 3 are:
彼は四年刑期のところを二年で釈放された。He was let out after serving just two years of his four-year prison sentence. 
遠いところを、わざわざおいでくださってありがとうございます。Thank you very much for coming all the way to see me. 
お忙しいところをご来社いただきありがとうございました。Thank you for taking the time out to pay a visit to our company.

Probably not, esp. since it's not used in the other gloss. It's a difficult expression to gloss and totally context-specific.  "ところを" occurs 78 times in the Tanaka corpus, but none of them are examples of this usage AFAICT.
