I read it as the direction that was used most recently in order to arrive in your current square. Think of your entire movement history as one long sequence of travel in order to make you arrive in your current square. The current direction of travel is just the most recent direction in that entire history. But I can see your interpretation just as easily.
As for the situation where the first and last squares aren't in the same column, it's no different than if, e.g., square 18 were destroyed. In that case, I would argue that movement from square 17 to square 19 should still be considered up, since logically you move right to the gap and then up from the gap to #19.
Regardless, if the current direction of travel is undefined for some situation, all it means is that the sliding rule can't be applied in that case.
