Happy New Year to Nobumi, jem, Žorvaršur and all!

But those commands do not make an actual selection like SetSelect (x, y).
What to say? $found is one of the TextSelection objects got by
$founds = $sel.subtext.findAll '^', 'E'
So, for example, the location of "<" in the diagram (?) below is 0 for the subtext but 23 for the main body text. Then, if we want to insert a line number in the main body, we have to adjust the location. For that, the macro creates a new TextSelection object ($start) by adding the offset ($sel) to $found.location.

You don't need mastering them now. Just read through the Macro Reference and just retain the *existence* of those commands. You will consult it again when you really need them.
In this particular case, there is an easier way.
Menu ':Edit:Select:Select Paragraph'
which will transform all partial selections into those of whole paragraphs.
