You can either create a family and share games that way or you can login on your friends computer and install the game. They can then borrow the game.

You cannot play a game while your copy is being borrowed (played) by another user.

Kinda. Unless it's excluded. And if family member x plays one of my games, I cannot play a game or else they'd get kicked. Better than nothing though.

If you are doing Steam Family Sharing, then the only limit is that you both cannot play the same game at the same time. You can play different games at the same time, even if they are both from your account.

I use the feature all the time, it is great. Convinced my SO to buy a few games already as they tried it from my account, liked it, then bought their own copy so we could play it together.

Oh is that so? actually never bother witu the sharing, was adamant that it was account, not game-restricted. OK even better then. Still far from optimal. You can't just gift a game away you don't want to play anymore. That would be big.
