Medical Ctr to where the Purple Line station in Bethesda will be is, like, half a mile. Easier just to walk it. Even so, I think the PL station will be at most a couple hundred yards from the subway station.
The Purple line in SS will run right through the big bus terminal which is basically attached to the SS subway station. (It will run over the end of the SS metro platform.) So yes, you'll have to get off the Red line and walk about 50 yards or less to the PL station.
IF the thing ever gets built, I can't imagine it will be faster to ride the Red line all the way around.

Actually the Medical Center station is touch over one mile from the Bethesda station.

Still walking distance in nice weather. Not sure it would be worth getting into the subway. Depending on their frequency, hopping a bus might be better.

I think red line could get down to 3 minute headways (i think they managed that for a couple months back in 2008....)
but we'll see if they can regain their former glory.
