Hello and welcome. I don't have a 29 so my comments are more of a generalization than specific to your boat.
With keel stepped masts water will come down the mast. You can use different food colorings and/or paper towels to help locate the source of water intrusion. Many of the C&C windows don't have a frame and are simply surface glued to the fiberglass whole. If this is the case for you then the most widely accepted repair is 3M VHB tape and DOW 795 sealant. More details upon request. Many of the masts have a conduit to keep the wires protected. Check to see if you can find it in your boat. As for control line length, the owners manual might provide a guide but any of the POs could have easily re-routed or relocated lines or line leads. I would just use a piece of small stuff and route it the way you like and then measure. Add a foot or 2 (or 10) and buy. Not having any lines gives you a blank slate. You can color coordinate as needed. I use green schemes for main sail controls. Blue for headsail, and red for spinacker. Solid colors for halyards, various flecks for everything else.
