like walter said, its a sleeping crane system, so we wait, then move once they attack. in my crane training, which is probably less than walter's (so i hope he confirms this), i've always trained stepping to 45 degrees, left or right, forwards for hand strikes, locks, and takedowns, and backwards for kicks or simple evasion.
i might add that although your curiosity in our style is commendable, alot of the things you're asking are very advanced. i'm guessing you have a background in wing chun, but that doesn't entirely enable you to understand these things by us just telling you. if you really want to learn the essense of white crane, why not actually find a crane teacher to learn from instead of asking us? we're only students.
