1. He was a Nixon dirty trickster...
That is how 41 met him, so he probably did work with Segretti.

2. OOOHHHH yeah!
that's where he got his start...was pissed that they got Nixon and figured out ways that they could ( thru proper prior planning ) get around all the 'laws ' which were only 'holding them back'...

Bitches, all...IMHO

Yes.
Here is a Wikipedia entry:

In June 1971, Rove dropped out of the University of Utah to take a paid position as the Executive Director of the College Republican National Committee. Joe Abate, who was National Chairman of the College Republicans at the time, became a mentor to Rove.

Rove traveled extensively, participating as instructor at weekend seminars for campus conservatives across the country. He was an active participant in the 1972 Presidential campaign of Richard Nixon. As a protégé of Donald Segretti (later convicted as a Watergate conspirator), he tried to paint Nixon's opponent, World War II B-24 pilot and hero George McGovern, as a left-wing peacenik

4. I thought he made the move to national politics under Bush 1...
Wasn't that the timeline in "Bush's Brain?"

Plan 9 from Outer Space?

1) takeover the world's largest nation state, destroy the people's trust in self-governance, reduce their will to resist, get them to think like superstitious savages, begin the colonization.

OR

2) Rove is part of a neo-fascist revanchist movement -- Nixon's "Prussians", the Prescott-Walker-Bush Fifth Columnists, the Italian P-2 cabal - that's out to destroy the United States to avenge the fall of the Fourth Reich?

Makes complete sense, either way you want to look at.
