I am very interested in findoing out how things go. As the mother of and adopted cat who was run over by a car, I saw some of these behaviors in her (Honeybunny) wehn she first came to my home at 8 months old. WHne we woudl play or I would be petting her she would slowly wrap herself around my arm, as if hugging me, then attack.

I would not try to pull her off, rather I would relax my arm while saying very loudly OUCH. A few times she would still not let go and I had to "flick" her on the nose. Ir is a tender part and they do not like being hit on the nose, but I used this only when she refused to let go. She has since settled in and calmed down. I, too, used a "quiet room" as well and it has worked wonders. I commend you on your patience with your kitty! Keep us updated!
