Answer 1

A simpler approach is to just evaluate the enum and return comparison value:

 var result = list.OrderBy(item => item.myEnum == myEnum.foo ? 1 : 2)
                  .ThenBy(item => item.myEnum == myEnum.boo ? 1 : 2)
                  .ThenBy(item => item.myEnum == myEnum.goo ? 1 : 2); 

This way you won't need extra variables and a more readable code.
