  the path cant track its end points as you said nor can you pick whip them to position data, also there is no data then for how the path would bend.

  solutions-
  1- use c4d (various options but id go with a spline def. cloner)
  2- animate spline by hand (stroked one) and render it and then track the points (duplicate stroke and make few pixels longer in bright colour)
  3- would have to experiment but if you animate the stroke by hand then paste its mask data on your dot layer it should move along the spline. maybe if you hold its first key frame it will stay at 0% the whole way.

  hope that helps
