When will the oil spill reach Panama City?
As noted by the University of South Florida, oil spill trajectories become less reliable with time. This is because with time the new areas in which the spill contaminates, are likely to be with a much lower concentration of oil and instead of a layer of oil, it is small tar balls. The trajectories are the result of currents going in different directions.
Given the following, there is a chance that the oil will never reach Panama City. My information is from the June 2 forecasts of the oil spill See related link showing the University of South Florida maps, where they compare 4 forecasts. Panama City coodinates are 30.2 degrees longitude and 85.68 degrees latitude. As a zoom in on Panama City, I see currents going east, but also some of the currents are to the south, which could keep it offshore. It is updated everyday.

Why was Panama chosen as the site for a canal joining the Atlantic to the Pacific?
The main reason for the construction of the Panama canal was to reduce the overall voyage time for ships trying to pass from one Ocean to the other. As Central America is (relatively) narrow, it was deemed an ideal place for a canal connecting the Oceans. Panama has existing bodies of water - in particular Lake Gatun - through which the canal could pass, reducing the workload.
Note: Panama did not exist as a country when the location was selected. The site was in the northern part of Columbia. It took the French and Americans to agitate a revolution that resulted in Panama becoming an independent country (so that better terms for land rights could be negotiated than what Columbia wanted). This has resulted in some degree of tension between the US and Columbia, especially due to Theodore Roosevelt's gunboat diplomacy interfering with Columbia's attempts to stop the revolt.
