It appears to me that the dotted line between A- and C- terminals in the pictorial diagram was intended to be connected only if no "C" battery was used. Maybe someone didn't want to use a "C" battery and added the thin wire jumper?
Regarding the mystery resistor in parallel with the capacitor - It is a grid leak resistor, typically 2 to 5 megohms in value. Others may have differing opinions but I would use a 2 megohm resistor as a replacement - if you can figure out how to replicate the original, or how to take it apart.
