  TLDR, I might have missed some important detail, but if the problem is only how to connect TWO items to wired Ethernet over ONE cable, a PASSIVE SPLITTER offers (potentially) an ideal solution. Assuming you don't need gigabit Ethernet (or PoE come to that, ie all 8 wires), it works by...

2. What max current will the rear USB actually supply 5V at?

  I understand there are online brokers who will take them at somewhat less than face value, although I'm not sure about minimum quantities. You could donate them to your preferred charity.
