Trouble with the repeat sign: Is not acknowledged, jumps to the beginning, instead.
This is sort of a double problem. First, when the playback hits the end of the piece, where the End repeat sign is, it does not go to the Start repeat sign in the middle of the piece, but goes back to the beginning and starts the piece all over. The Start Repeat sign is in the MIDDLE of a measure, if that is relevant.
The second problem is that I don't know how to write the last measure of the first ending so that it has a reduced count. I want it to leave out the last 1/4 beat (not have 1/4 rest sign there) so that playback can jump to the repeat measure just before ITS last 1/4 beat, using that for the last beat before entering the second-ending section.

For the first problem there is no way to know for sure without seeing the actual musescore file.
To reduce the number of beats in a measure, right click the measure chose measure properties and adjust the actual duration.

OK, I adjusted the measure to the right # of beats, thanks. I am including a drastically truncated version which still has the repeat sign problem.

As Marc said, inserting a barline in the middle of a measure works as an ornament.

Fixed it, thanks. I need the repeat in the middle there for printing the score.
Mid-measure repeat signs are for show only, they don't affect playback. If you want that effect, then instead of adding the mid-measure repeat, split the measure in two at that point via Edit / Measures. That can also be a way of creating shortened measures at the other end, although Measure Properties will do the job too and can sometimes be more flexible.

I need it for the printed score, so I left the mid-measure repeat sign AND did the split. Can't tell yet if it works because I am working on getting a solution that gets the playback to go to the repeat sign, not the beginning.

If you do the split, you don't need a mid-measure repeat - the whole point is that after a split you now have two independent real measures with a normal barline between them, so you can use regular repeats in the regular way. And then it will work perfectly.
