1) Anything I can skip with the second+ chocobo? I still have to get the stories for Canter/Gallop, right, the Handkerchief, all that?
2) Aiming for something in the range of 255 STR, 40 END, 216 DSC, 128 RCP? Or do I want like 64 END and 192 DSC instead, I don't know how dump a dump stat it is.
You get to skip the handkerchief process, and I recommend trying to skip running into Brutus and learning Canter by breeding multiple times until you get an egg with it inherited since the addon works on eggs from Finbarr.

Go for 254 4 254 128 or 254 34 224 128. The ELM saddle from C1 races gives +16 END during the race and as the best saddle it's all the END you need.

Honestly, I don't even know how to breed a chocobo... I have to get a Chococard from someone else? I can't just like, breed with a NPC?

FFXIV had the right idea, letting you purchase from a NPC.

I don't mind trying to find Brutus! That seems perfectly reasonable. I guess it might make my END too high but we have food and training plans for that.

You just need two chococards, M and F. You pick a plan to favor abilities/gender being passed along, and the color is a mix from the parents plus a random color I believe. You can get a new egg once per day.

Nothing random about the color inheritance lucky. It's a simplified 3x3 Punnett square for figuring out your color results based on the parents.

Example:
BLACK RED YELLOW Male
RED RED BLACK Female

Only possible egg outcomes:
BLACK RED YELLOW
BLACK RED BLACK
RED RED BLACK
RED RED YELLOW
