in photos, how do I share everything to a shared library AND still keep all originals in my personal library, including my old stuff, predating the shared library? And can I keep them both complete and synced?

Any photo you share is moved from your personal iCloud library to the shared library. If you want to keep the original in your personal library, duplicate the selected photos with ⌘D, before you use the command "Image > Move photos to the Shared Library".

Avoid the automatic sharing of all photos, when you set up the Shared Library, but add the photo you want share manually.
