I'll probably come back on this when I'm a bit more knowledgeable.)
Again, very hard for me to say with my limited experience, but I'll try my best.
For flop #1 Villain's c-betting range might be {A2-3(45/78/77/88),23+(78/77/88)} I already excluded any 9 or T from his preflop raising range. If these are in his pf range however, than he's probably cbetting with (A2-3/23+)(9x/TT) as well.
I think his x/r range is negligible, as I think he's nearly always cbetting A2-3(TT/9J/88).
This is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. We all have to start somewhere and Omaha ranges are a big step up in complexity from Hold Em ranges.
Start by assuming your own ranges for CO, and then observe how different the field tends to play.
I'm assuming that a range of ~40 - 50% is still good from the BTN, and in general, half that for a decent CO range. These are ranges to open, not call behind or anything else. The math that drives this doesn't care what game it is, just the blinds and betting structure.

OK, so even without those mid-runners, Villain is crushing you on the top on this board, and has a lot of hands that chop the bottom. You can discount his AA and KK hands, since you hold blockers, but he's still happy with other PP's, it looks like.
I'm thinking from a NLHE perspective, but it seems like you are facing a board that smacks your opponent's range so hard that you can't reasonably continue, even in the 2nd scenario.

I might have noticed that on another day. Oops.

I'd be using them* to blind steal ahead of the BTN if possible and hopefully flop a wrap on a board with 0 or 1 low card.
Note that a fair number of boards support no low hands.
*them = non-gapped mid-rank hands. Moreso if they're double suited. Much less so if they're rainbow.

My pleasure.
We're quickly approaching the extent of my knowledge, but I'm happy to continue the convo. as a student of the game.
