In the theological definition it means not bound by time, not in time, not finite, etc., more concisely: "outside time" or transcending time This is sheer nonsense, imo. The logical question then is: At which "point" in eternity did this "uncaused" mover move to create, what caused it to create, and why?

The logical question then is: At which "point" in eternityAnd the logical answer is that if there is no time, there is no such thing as a point in time.

what caused it to createIf it has a cause, it is dependent. And you have the turtles problem again, you've left the argument, or rather validated the reasoning for an uncaused first cause.
I'm sticking within the first cause argument restriction here, irrespective of what you call it. If you take it to more religious area, then you can discuss God's motivation.
