You can get the coordinates using DoFTools::map_dofs_to_support_points(). As 
for the direction: That's something that the RT element does internally using 
a convention that takes into account the two adjacent cells. I don't think 
there is a way to determine this direction outside the element short of 
evaluating the shape function at a point on the face.
