It's a standing wave, John.  Not a little ball (or a little galaxy) moving
around, turning, accelerating and slowing down hither and yon.  Does a 
standing wave move? Accelerate?

Remember, an electron has both wavelike and particle-like properties.  
Having a (small) mass it's more particle-like than a photon, but it's
less particle-like than something larger, like a proton or a baseball.

Nope.  Not only does an accelerating charge radiate, it radiates normal
electromagnetic radiation.  Not gravity.  Not "small-grained" radiation
that we cannot detect.  Ordinary electromagnetic radiation.
