Ronnie,
MobileSheets should have access to shared Drive files and folders - you just have to tap the "Shared with Me" folder to get access to those.
It's very strange that you are seeing that behavior when you enable "Allow editing of embedded PDF annotations". I've never seen that before. Unfortunately, MobileSheets can't merge annotations from two different users - you have to take annotations from one device or the other. If you select "Prompt user for decision" when synchronizing, you can choose to take all of the changes from one tablet, but keep annotations if desired. Or you can uncheck the option to "Sync annotations" which would ensure annotations are untouched. It's unclear to me when you can't just synchronize normally but with the "Sync annotations" unchecked. I'd like to hear more about that.
You'll definitely run into more issues with synchronizing if you have the same song titles but different PDFs used by those songs, as the sync will want to take one or the other. So you'd have to ignore those differences by using "prompt user for decision" if that's going to be occur frequently. I might suggest just using unique song titles for those if you are going to use different PDF names though, and uncheck the option to delete songs so that they don't get removed during the sync.
If none of this helps and your current process is working for you, by all means, you can stick to it.
Mike
