Am I completely confused about how tenses work?

{ba klama le zarci} does *not* mean that *the zarci* is in the
future, it means the action (going to the market) occurs in the
future.  I *thought* that {vi klama le zarci} meant that the action
of going to the market occurs nearby.

All correct.

ba klama le zarci == lo nu klama le zarci cu balvi

vi klama le zarci == lo nu klama le zarci cu sepli lo manri lo cmalu

If I'm right, {mo'ine'i pinca ko} is "pee whilst moving inwards",
like if you were telling a dog to scent mark whilst entering a cave.

mo'i ne'i pinca do ~= lo nu pinca do cu muvdu lo nenri be zo'e

The idea was "Make it so that your piss is moving into [it]". Since pinca is not an action, but merely a substance, the event of something being that substance can move in some direction.
