I find your post quite convoluted. Here's what I read:

Problem:
Given a square matrix, return diagonal that contains element with
coordinates i j.
Solution:
finddiag =: ,@[ #~ -/@] = ,@:(-/~@i.@#)@[
The solution uses the fact that i-j (i and j are in y) gives the number of
the diagonal,
and then uses the number to extract the corresponding diagonal from x (the
matrix.)
]mat=.i.5 5
0 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9
10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19
20 21 22 23 24
mat finddiag 3 2
5 11 17 23
(<3 2){mat
17
Note that finddiag does not make coordinates of diagonal elements.

Here I couldn't formulate a problem based on your post.
