3) I would simply point each Calibre to the LOCAL Dropbox share. (there is no way to point to a Dropbox cloud.)
4) Always fully sync Dropbox (green) before starting Calibre just to be on the safe side.
5) If the database gets out of sync, use "Database restore."

Yes.
And be sure you pause the DropBox client before opening Calibre. That way DropBox isn't actively doing anything to the files while you're working with them.

QUESTION:
How will Calibre on PC#2 pickup a new addition from PC#1 (after Dropbox sync, of course)? Is this automatic at startup of PC#2?

Because it's opening the same library database file (synced as part of your library) as the one on PC#1 when you start the program.
