2) How do “train” them to learn the new position? I think you have to click on the individual player, then set position, but I wasn’t sure.
3). How do you know the max rating a player can learn at a position? Is there anyway to know this before buying a player in the AH?
Thanks in advance. Any other tips or suggestions relating to this topic would be welcomed.

Any player can learn any position as long as they have the skills for that position. The only exception is left handed throwers cannot play anything on the left side of the infield.
Example: A player with a 0 in catching ability will never learn how to play catcher, but the Live 2018 Donaldson will eventually learn C after about 150-160 games. Altuve and Machado can learn almost every position except C because they have values in all categories. Make for a good super utility.
You just put that player in the position you want them to learn and they'll slowly get trained up based on their skills. Get ready for negative ZR for a while though. Players will learn at different speeds depending on their raw skills.
Example: Rookie Tulo will learn 3B
very quickly because his Range, Arm, and Error skills are very high.
There's a way to use commissioner mode to check the max values by making an identical player and turning off scouting, but I personally haven't tried it. SS, C, and CF seem to require the most "skills" in order to reach their highest potential, while the corner OF spots and 1B seem to require the least.
