What or who drives Ka? Is there a god who runs the unfound doors, pure chance is far too easy an answer.
What is the point of breaking the beams? What is to be gained from felling the Tower?

The Crimson King appears in full regalia in "Insomnia" and I think the answer to your first question is "Yes."
I'm not specifically looking for spoilers, but does 22-year old Patrick Danville appear in SOS to save Roland and Eddie's lives? If not, then that must happen in the final book. I am simultaneously reading SOS and Insomina right now, and Insomnia has MAJOR ties to the Dark Tower.
To briefly recap, the hero in Insomnia has been contacted by those who follow the Purpose (the Green Man) to thwart those who follow the Random (the Crimson King). The Crimson King wants to prematurely kill a 4-year old boy named Patrick Danville who is actually destined to die at age 22 while saving the lives of a gunslinger named Roland and his friend.
The hero in Insomnia actually meets face to face with the Crimson King and momentarily outwits him, winning a brief but critical battle.
