When drawing using draw tool, if I hover over a shape or image it turns into the hand tool and then I can't draw. How do I fix this?

I just tested this. Clicking the Arrow tool does indeed simply add an arrow instead of having you drag it out first.
I rarely if ever use the Annotate toolbar, so I am certain I have not made any changes that would have caused this. More likely, the upgrade to Yosemite changed how this tool works.
But you can draw freehand circles in Preview, just select the shape you want to use in the upper left corner after you draw the shape. If you don't see the controls as below, go to View → Show Markup Toolbar

In Preview app and once the shape is drawn, you can only move, rotate or resize it.
Here is an article that comes from the Apple's Preview User Guide :
If the hand cursor persists or the shape you just drew does not suit you : click on the Sketch or Draw button again to draw a new shape.
If you want to draw onto a shape you have just added : close the image preview you were editing after saving it and re-open the file so the shape will be considered as part of the image.
