Quite welcome my friend. Enjoy it!     

I use the auto wah differently than the Clyde.  I’ll play a phrase like the lead riff from Superstition with the auto wah to put a keyboard-like effect on the guitar.  I couldn’t possibly nail all those notes with a regular wah while singing. 

I haven’t played the Ibanez but I ripped through wahs before the Clyde. I still have a few at home.  The Clyde has such a breadth of tone and as you said is build like a Sherman.     

Thank you. I love learning regionalisms.

We would call those "the drunks."     

I think you should start doing whammy dives. I feel like with that axe you HAVE to. It's a moral imperative.      

YAY! I'm so happy for you. Life changing. You plan on doing a lot of whammy dives with that locking nut?     

Your song title contains some popular search terms so there were other songs in front of you in search results.  I just scrolled down the page till I saw your gorgeous mug.     

That's not downsizing  - that's just making room for more!     

Man what a bummer. Is it close to healed or still trauma from the ordeal?

Earlier this summer I got a hand injury (way less dramatic than yours) while gardening and now I always wear leather gloves even if I don’t think I need to. 

I'm used to reading chords the other way:

e <=high e string
b
g
d
a
e <=low e string
and based upon your descriptions of the chords it looks like that's what you intended but are your string labels flipped backward? At any rate, as written these chords are:

1. C major 7 /E
2. Probably an f major 7 shell voicing with third omitted, but with only two notes it depends a lot upon the context in which you're playing the chord. See the note below.
3. Probably a shell voicing f dominant 7.
4. Probably a shell voicing for Eb major 7.
5. Probably a shell voicing for Eb dominant 7.

Now if your string labels were flipped and your high "e" string is marked correctly, here's what we are looking at:
1. D9. (You note correctly that the 5th is missing. I leave out 5ths a lot. They are largely unimportant to chords unless you're playing altered chords or you're going for a certain type of sound.)
2.  Another shell voicing, could be Em7 but depends upon context. Could also be a G major.
3. Could be Cm7 or Eb7.
4. Dm7, again depends upon context. could also be an F chord.
5. This might be a Bbm7 or Db7.

Hope that helps. Sorry to be ambiguous but when you're dealing with simple two-note chords the devil is in the details.  

Thats an interesting point. I always figured they were build around specific scales like a harmonica, but maybe they’re chromatic.   You just gave me something to Google yet again,  Bill.
