Hi Grzegorz,

I will let people who know more than me about the CGAL spatial search 
packages answer your first questions.

I will focus on the last one:

Manuel Caroli and I have some work in progress, and a prototype running, 
for the 3D case, you can have a look at
http://www-sop.inria.fr/members/Monique.Teillaud/other-geometries/
for links to (preliminary) papers.
The 2d would not be harder, of course, but we are not really planning to 
work on the implementation, due to lack of time.

You might have been interested in the past worshop in periodic spaces
http://www.cgal.org/Events/PeriodicSpacesWorkshop/
but it took place 2 weeks ago already.

Still, I would be interested in knowing your application and your needs 
more precisely.

best
