It can't be done
The only way to Steer a star would be to move its centre of gravity (by several hundred thousand miles Minimum)
This is utterly impossible for any being less powerful than a God

First, I don't know what a "critical mass point is"; it isn't a term used in physics or any astronomical discipline, unless I was sleeping in class that day. But regardless, yes you can move ANYTHING regardless of mass, provided you have enough energy and the engineering technology to put it to use. To move a star artificiallly just takes a lot of mass, a lot of energy (though not nearly as much as you would think), a great deal of time, and a little bit of ingenuity.
You move a star the same way you move an asteroid. To move an asteroid, you start with a ship that is as massive as you can get it and still be able to move it into position. I would place the ship in an eliptical orbit around the asteroid such that with each pass from perigee to apogee the ship gives the asteroid a little tug. Each tiny tug changes the asteroids orbit by a miniscle amount. Enough tugs in the right direction and you can steer the rock almost anywhere you choose as well as increase/decrease its velocity. This will work within a reasonalble timeframe for even a very large asteroid.
The technique can be easily scaled up. If you could steer Jupiter, you could affect the motion of the sun. By steering larger and larger objects, you could very well move Jupiter. Well not YOU as we are talking millenia at least to make this work for Jupiter; even longer for the sun.
And before you say it, this will absolutely work as it is based on leveraging well known and understood principles. In fact, we do something very similar to send probes to distant planets. the only difference is scale.
As for Dyson Spheres, most people completely misunderstood Dyson's proposal. The sphere would not be a solid object; there isn't enough matter in the entire solar system to build something like that, and if you have to travel to another star for supplies, what's the point? A Dyson sphere consists of an interconnected (not necessarily physically connected) web of structures designed to collect nearly all of a star's energy. Like most things ST, the science is riidiculous, but based on some grain of real science.
You can read all about real Dyson spheres here. When I was a kid, I even desgined my own version after reading Ringworld, so I know a little about the subject.
