Pulled the carpet back and moved the four by shifter. What is the correct unengaged position?

Left and straight up for two wheel drive. Left and back for 4 Hi. Right and back for 4 Lo. Middle is a neutral.

Actually meant "back and right" for Lo
 
2H * secret* N 2L


4H N 4L

That should be 2 Hi.
Straight back is 4 Hi.
Back and right is 4 Lo.

There is a mod to remove the steel piece in your pic. that allows a 2 Lo. Just need to trim out that piece of steel. That is what some of the guys are refering to. Comes in handy if you are offroad much.
 
If your hubs are in you can go back and forth 2H - 4H on the fly, just let off the gas and shift. Going 4H to 4L, you need to stop. You can go 4L to 4H but it will clunk, better to stop. Getting out of 4L can bind, so back up a few feet to release the pressure then shift, bumping the clutch can help.

If its only a few areas pealing. Wire brush with power drill. Sand to feather the edge. Good prime coat or two, then paint. You could scuff up the whole surface and paint it all. Spray cans are great because you will touching it up often.

Oil soak metal doesn't hold paint. Needs burnt out with a torch IMHO first.

Leave it neutral for highwsy miles?

Truck won’t move with the transfer case in neutral.

High range, 2WD for the highway.

If you want to use Low in 2wd you can remove the shift gate. When I ordered my H55F and split transfer case it did not have one. They stopped making them and from what I understand and can be hard to find. I decided not to get one for mine.
 
Low range is for when you need more gear reduction and not speed.

There should be a data plate on the glove box showing instructions and graphic of how to shift the transmission and the transfer case.

If not there will be 4 holes where it was riveted and you can get one from a MUD member. I replaced mine because I replaced the 4-speed for a 5-speed.
