a) in what form should I provide such an image that it can be translated

Since your image is simply boxes with text and arrows connecting them, one
possibility might be to do it with html and css rather than making it an
image.  The styling and layout of the boxes would be straightforward and the
arrows could be background images.  I would think that that would make it
simpler to localize the text.

But I don't know if and how the texidoc generation of html would work for
this.

Sounds good. Anyone with a clear idea about this texidoc-wise?

Maybe not texidoc-wise, but it's something I thought about on its own merits. I'm personally not crazy about is as it would basically result in us creating a very specialized set of CSS parameters for a very specific thing that could be changed and completely removed or made incompatible with what is coded. That said, Paul is right. It is technically doable (and in a way that gracefully degrades to text browsers), but I'm not sure that's the ideal route from the maintenance side of things.
