The back multiplier information is a good starting point. It gives a decent reference point for price in relation to rarity. Any prices from 2015 I wouldn't pay much attention to. Your best bet is to find recent sales. There are many intricacies within T206 that cause cards that are considered commons to fluctuate. There are many collectors aggressively collecting a certain back at any given time. Some people hoard certain players and will pay more and more as examples dry up. Players like Titus get a premium because he had a mustache. There are all kinds of examples like this. Try to find a recent sale(s) of the same player and back combo. If you can't find that, then resort to finding similar players with the same back.
Question 2: So, if I go by that PSA chart... any low grade Uzit PSA 1 common should be worth at least around $1250? A Drum $3,500? And a Lenox $750?
Again, check for recent comps. As an example, here is a PSA 1 Uzit that sold last night.

Question 3: Why are the Drums seemingly more than double the value of Uzit, even though they appear to be similarly rare?
The Drums are slightly more rare, I believe. Once you get to the top of rarity in T206 you are talking about large price increases. If there is one or two known examples of something, it's hard to determine any sort of a fixed price or value.
Question 4: I know that PSA brings the best resale value across the hobby, but SGC seems comparable for extreme vintage. Would I be really shortchanging myself by going with SGC? I do like the look of their slabs more, but don't want to screw myself out of 30% if I chose to flip down the line.
As a collector, the card and the quality of the card are of the most importance. If you think the card looks nice for the price, someone down the line will probably agree. That's all I'll really say on that.
