 * Is there a way of letting only specific users (not roles, but IDs) edit a specific
   post/custom-post?

 * I am also having trouble just understanding where to put the shortcodes and actions
   you have provided. My objective is to allow users to edit posts that they have
   previously created, and only their posts. So I also need a way to allow users
   to choose the post they want to edit. Is this possible to do?

 * If you make a user an author, they are only able to edit posts they created by
   default. So that is a start.
 * I am updating documentation to better illustrate how to use the shortcodes. It
   can be confusing. I need a richer tutorial on it.
