This is a SanDisk Extreme SSD 500MB if it matters. Instead of the expected permissions I see "You have custom permissions."  It is formatted as ExFAT with partition type Master Boot Record. Since I'm this deep already, I could reformat the drive for optimal compatibility. Is this the best format and partitioning for the RPI4/Moode 7 and Mac OS, or would something else work better?

I don't know much about Macs.  Possibly the fact you have ExFat might make the Mac sad.  But it possibly isn't a problem given that you say you successfully deleted the files.  I'd stick to doing this on the pi.  My drive is ntfs and I can't manipulate files on the disk without first doing:
sudo bash
then you can do what you want.
