- Does this mean that Point 1 and Point 2 connect at one end of the resistor?
- Point 3 is simply a connection to a solder joint that is nothing more than a mount (no connection to any other signal path)?
- And is this what is meant by 1K ohm termination?

That's the symbol for a variable resistor, in this case, with a value of 1K Ohm.
Terminal 2 is connected to the "wiper" which sweeps across the resistive material to provide a changing amount of resistance as the wiper is turned (or slid). If B_OUT were connected to terminal 3, it would see the maximum amount of resistance of 1K, equivalent to turning the wiper to the upper extreme.
