To what extent could you use R802.9 Framing of Openings before needing an engineer?
This is a top floor extension, not a shed dormer.

I don't understand....Do you mean 802.3.1 for rafter to joist connection? Or The point loads on the doubled trimmers?

Does the code prescriptively allow the ridge board located off center of the roof width?

I say yes....not exactly spelled out (can or can't), but if you have proper thrust tie at rafter to ceiling joists at top of wall (or raised with adjustments) I don't see an issue...
