For instance, when in Scratch, I cannot simply exit Scratch and go back to the desktop - quitting scratch issues a shutdown. Can I do the same for eToys? Part of it is that I do not fully understand how "boot to Scratch" works, so I would like to learn that if I can.

You should probably ask this on the Squeak developers list, as there are many more developers subscribed to that than here:

Because the Debian gate-keepers do not like the image-based nature of Smalltalk development; it impedes their usual text-based workflow.

See /usr/share/doc/etoys/README.non-free
