Why speak of angels or “non-deistic beings.” If Christ is the God-man, then he is like no other. He is God and he is man. As for “sitting on a throne,” or “at the right-hand-of-the Father,” these are images that suggest the relationship between Father and Son. Even these names are misleading because they stipulate biological relationships and their actual relationship is certainly not biological .
That’s a mystery that has to be solved by all Christians, not just Catholics: How is Christ in your heart, in the Word, and in Heaven? (The proper meaning of “mystery” is that which can never be understood fully; it does NOT amount to a shrug by theologians.)
The bread is changed. Christ existed before and after the transubstantiation; being in an additional location doesn’t change the NATURE of Christ any more than walking into a different room changes the nature of a person.
You seem to be asking a much deeper question than I am answering; perhaps if you could be a little more precise, I could answer better. Also, I am no expert on such matters; all I can do is offer the little I know.

None can say better. For those who did not follow, one hopes that these words gave them comfort. We do not always know where He takes us, but simply must follow Him.
