My wording was bad in that library post. The sentence should read "This research would point toward Solomon's Shellder being related to psychic (or poison or fairy) energy." Not yellow.

Solomon gives you a "Well, duh!" look when you humansplain his crown to him. 
He nods encouragingly when you say that Kirlia is the only one to wake Mesprit. He thinks for a bit, requests a page in the Lake Trio Trilogy, and seems to come to the same conclusion you did about only Mesprit purposely hiding away. Solomon looks around at all the other library patrons suspiciously, and stands a bit closer to Nathan. 

However, he does not quite agree with your analysis of how to wake Mesprit. He points repeatedly to the phrase "Only a sharer of unselfish love," leaving a little damp spot on "sharer." He looks warily over where Kirlia is standing, a quizzical look on the dancer's face. 

He's also really really interested in "the only other way" mentioned by the prophecy. 

Kirlia simply trusts in Nathan here and doesn't seek to intrude. But he makes damn sure that if he can't be in the conversation, neither can any of the other patrons!

"...so you think my interpretation is slightly wrong?  Hmmm...do you think it means Kirlia needs someone else to help him with that, then?  That he can't do it alone? I'm not quite sure what the 'only other way' part means, but it's after the 'journey' bit, so maybe it's related to that?"

As for your final question, Slowking holds up two stubby fingers. Then he brings up the other paw, and one of the fingers "moves" onto that paw. He dramatically separates his hands, showing two SEPARATE fingers. He pretends to weigh these two hands as separate possibilities.
