We are given a square $ ABCD$. Let $ P$ be a point not equal to a corner of the square or to its center $ M$. For any such $ P$, we let $ E$ denote the common point of the lines $ PD$ and $ AC$, if such a point exists. Furthermore, we let $ F$ denote the common point of the lines $ PC$ and $ BD$, if such a point exists. All such points $ P$, for which $ E$ and $ F$ exist are called acceptable points. Determine the set of all acceptable points, for which the line $ EF$ is parallel to $ AD$.

Suppose we choose two numbers $x,y\in[0,1]$ uniformly at random. If the probability that the circle with center $(x,y)$ and radius $|x-y|$ lies entirely within the unit square $[0,1]\times [0,1]$ is written as $\tfrac{p}{q}$ with $p$ and $q$ relatively prime nonnegative integers, then what is $p^2+q^2$?
