If light is part of the same spectrum and waveform as radio waves and
radio waves can be transmitted through an antena then couldn't visible
light? If a sine wave driver was adjusted to run in the visible
spectrum and then connected to an earth ground and needle point antena,
could visible light be seen coming of off the needle point?

No, but it could be seen coming off of the circumference.

Considering just the antenna, calculate the length of a 1/4 wave
whip at far infrared.

I recommend using a "generic" isotropic point radiator for best results.
