I don't think "border" is a great gloss.
"appearance" is too broad for sense 3.

The 国語辞典 are pretty solidly on just LR, e.g. Daijisen: "漢字の偏と旁(つくり)。" I guess we can chance it that the Wikipedia authors are not off on a tangent.

Do you think that 偏旁 cannot be recognized as a general term that goes beyond just the left part and the right part?
Indeed, as you wrote above, Daijisen does not mention the 総称 aspect.
In the Japanese Wikipedia we have:
偏旁（へんぼう）とは、漢字の字体を構成する要素の一つで、左右上下内外の部分に分解できる要素をいう。偏や旁を総合して言う。
偏旁の名称=伝統的に偏旁は、配置される位置によって次のように分けられている:偏　旁　冠　脚　構　垂　繞
I do not know what credit you give to Wikipedia. To my mind, for academic or specialized topics, Wikipedia sometime better reflects the contemporary state of the language.

as stated above, they may or may not be synonymous (some sources say they are), but it's only daijisen that draws this glutinous/non-glutinous distinction for こわいい and こわめし. to me it just seems like こわいい is a more archaic term and it may not have included beans.
-
the comment about them sharing a sense was in reference to Jim's comment about ごうはん

According to my reading of daijisen, the meanings are different.

    ごう‐はん【強飯】
    山盛りの飯を食うことを強制する儀式。日光輪王寺(りんのうじ)で、正月・4月の祭礼、12月の餅練(もちね)りなどに、参詣の大名などに山伏が強要した強飯式（現在は4月2日）が有名。日光責め。
    こわ‐いい【強飯】
    《「ひめいい（姫飯）」に対して》粳米(うるちまい)を甑(こしき)に入れて幾度も水をかけて蒸したもの。こわい。→こわめし（強飯）
    こわ‐めし【強飯】
    糯米(もちごめ)を蒸した飯。ふつう、小豆やササゲを入れて赤飯にする。おこわ。→こわいい（強飯）

Might not be true for other dictionaries.

no. meanings aren't different if they share a sense

The only shared element is the kanji headword. Readings And meanings 
are different, so not 2/3.
