How to get positions of tikz curve to lines

I am trying to draw the following figure, that is to get the positions of two separate lines (curve to line) and then draw a line between them.
My code,
begin{tikzpicture}
defL{1.5}
draw (0,0) to[bend left] (L,0) node[pos=0.5] (a) {};
draw (L,0) to[bend left] (0,0) node[pos=0.5] (b) {};
draw[dashed] (a) -- (b);
fill[red] (a) circle(1.5pt);
fill[blue] (a) circle(1.5pt);
end{tikzpicture}
only produce the following one.
How to get points (a list of them would be better) of different (for maximum flexibility) lines so that I can use these points later?

You were almost there. You need to place the nodes inside the path when you use pos=0.5. (For straight lines -- you can be more sloppy.)
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
defL{1.5}
draw (0,0) to[bend left] node[pos=0.5,draw,fill=red,circle,inner sep=2pt] (a) {} (L,0)
to[bend left] node[pos=0.5,draw,fill=blue,circle,inner sep=2pt] (b) {}(0,0);
draw[densely dashed] (a) -- (b);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
If you tweak it a tiny bit, it becomes closer to the desired screen shot.
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[bullet/.style={draw,circle,inner sep=2pt,fill=#1}]
defL{2.5}
draw (0,0) to[bend left=45] node[pos=0.5,bullet=red] (a) {} (L,0)
to[bend left=45] node[pos=0.5,bullet=blue] (b) {}(0,0);
draw[densely dashed] (a) -- (b);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
