He/she always refers back to something. So you can use {ra}  or e.g. {ra poi fetsi}

Not always. It can also be a demonstrative, for example if you point at someone and say "she's cute".

True.  I guess is {tu poi fetsi}.

Also, in something like "he who laughs last, laughs best", "he" doesn't refer back to anything in the text.

didn't think of such weird ru'e examples but yeah, of course.
