I didnt adjust my shoes all the way so my E-Brake has 25 clicks instead of the specification of around 11-17 clicks. I wont have time ti readjust for a few days. How bad is that, will it hurt anything?

Should not hurt anything. The e-brake adjustment is just in front of the gas tank, take up the slack in the cable.

It doesnt matter that the adjustments under the wheel cylinder are not correct? Aren't the shoes gapped from the drum more than they should be?

They should self-adjust with parking brake application. However, as the shoes wear, you need to take up the slack of the parking brake cable. If the self-adjuster wheel is frozen, then yes, you may need to free it and take up the gap there.

You should back off on the e-brake adjuster, then adjust the rear shoes up till they are just touching the drum. Then adjust your e-brake up.

they should self adjust. Try backing up a few times and pulling the parking brake. If that doesn't work just pull off the wheels and drums and adjust. Doesn't take long.

You adjust it while the drums are on, though.

backing up does nothing in a Toy (your thinking GM), adjust them by pulling the ebrake until you arm feels like it's gonna fall off.

The adjuster could be siezed up. I had to take mine (both sides) apart and clean em and grease the hell out of em. Work fine now .

you can adjust it through a hole in the backing plate . theres a little rubber grommet that pops into the hole you have to remove.
