1. Re: How do I make an identical selection on two different sized files [just want the same selection shape, not a copy of the original selection]
Click on the selection with the Marquee tool and drag it over the other image. Then, to resize it, if necessary,. Select > Transform Selection and hold down the Shift key as you resize to maintain the proportion.

An easy way, just one two more steps from what you've tried... Drag the selection, with content, over to the other document. Press Ctrl and click on the layer you just placed there. Now delete the layer; the selection will still be there.
