Does return; also work for a try block?

Just two short questions (that i wasn't able to find in the documentation);

in a try-block, does a return; statement immediately exit the try-block (like it would do with a for-loop for example)?
if the try-block throws an error, can i (after fixing the error in the corresponding catch-block) make the script retry the try block (without having to build an entire checking system with booleans and for or while-loops)? Is there a simple command for that? (btw., i realize there is a risk of an infinite loop with this)

return will return from the current method/function, even within a try-block.

the checking system for your second question isn't really that big, and IMHO the way to go (for what you're trying to do):

Cool, so if i have this (nonsensical) bit of code:

The try-block will "exit" when it comes to the return statement, but it won't "exit" the while-loop, right?

return will exit the loop and also the function it's declared in, like draw().

if you want to just skip the current cycle of the loop use a "continue;" statement.

if you want to skip skip the whole loop use "break;"
