Withholding isn't relevant here. Non refundable means it can't cause the government to net pay you money: that is to say, it can't make your refund larger than your withholding.

Sure it is! If we were trying to compress an archive of orbital data, one way to do it would be "initial positions + periodic error correction". If you have the new planet, your errors will be smaller and can be represented in less space at the same precision.

You need a heat difference, not just heat, to generate electricity.

Now my sibling comment links to a paper where they say they can find heat differences in the body that are sufficient for their needs, so this is still a possibility! But it does mean you need to be somewhere with a heat gradient: the paper mentions just under the skin.
