1. "in the last point" doesn't mean anything to me. Is there another synonym you could use to help me understand your question?
2. No. "at the end" does not have to be followed by "of X".
The story was very exciting. It seemed that the young girl was going to die in the flood, but she was saved at the end. ("at the end of the story" is understood.)

That's bad that I cannot edit my question. I don't know why the "edit post" button disappars.

Sure I can help.
When you list a series of reasons, points etc. you may use:
- in the first place/point
- in the second place/point

So what's the difference between:
- last (adv)
- at last
- finally, eventually
- at the end (of something)
- in the end
- last (adv)
- at last
- finally, eventually
- at the end (of something)
- in the end

Once there is a reply to the post, the post can no longer be edited.
___
"in the first/second/... place" is more commonly "first, second, ..."
Keeping with this pattern, yes, "last" is also possible in this series.
Also, with the same meanings, "firstly, secondly, ... lastly".
"in the first/second/... point" is not used.
