   Where can I get resources on elisp's idiomatic programming style?

one way is to read a lot of elisp.  this is particularly easy to do
since emacs itself is distributed with a lot of elisp.

   How about these macros?? I rewrite the function like this, [...]

these are ugly.  i don't even know if they are correct, i could not
force myself to read them.

why don't you try this:

(0) make sure your emacs is properly installed, in other words, with
    full source code (for each .elc file there should be a corresponding
    .el file in the same directory).

(1) evaluate the forms:
    (require 'cl)
    (dolist (dir load-path) (ignore-errors (dired dir)))

(2) in each" dired buffer, evaluate the form:
    (grep "egrep -nH -e '(call|start)-process' *.el")

by "evaluate the form", i mean type `M-:' and then the form and then
RET.  for step (2) you can recall previous forms into the minibuffer
by typing `M-p'.

further exploration is up to you.  have fun!
