This problem needs more constrains, at the moment there is infinite amount of such arcs.

EDIT: What I mean - where does line AB comes from ?

Where does line AB comes from ? I mean, if you change the line AB by rotating it around the A point) you'll get different circles.

The yellow circle is the one to get the arc from.

EDIT : You can actually do a plane line intersection with the rotated line and plane, no need to do the line-line intersection (which also means that there is one component too much there).

I'm quite surprised that it works in any case...
