But anyways, instead of getting the AI to sell you a colony, why not just get it to sell you a spaceyard, or a colony ship?

No to the first question. Your ship will move to the warp point and then clear orders.

Yes of course to the second point. However without a planet in the system it would be tough to keep a fleet supplied and maintained, and without population you can't make a supply station. Although you could make a fleet with some troop ships and whatnot and capture a planet. That would be doable in time.
