Do forms only add the submitted information to a new row? Can they go in the same row where the contact appears in the contact column?

The main difference is that with forms you add data and with update requests, you can update/add data on specific row(s).

You could add the help text to separate column(s).

Yes, that's what I ended up doing.
Thanks
Great!
You're welcome!
