So, does the above seem balanced for now? Does it have enough leg work? (The day after, I can feel the work out in my shoulders, but legs not so much.)

Yeah, you're totally lacking leg work. You need to get some more squats in there or something. Turkish Getups are an awesome exercise, that would be a good thing to work up, but they are more shoulder-focused than legs.

I have a hard time keeping flat feet when trying to do any squat. I always end up on my toes for balance. Any suggestions for this?

There are a lot of posts on improving squats here. The short answer is STRETCH. Stretch your hammies and hips. Also it's better to just elevate your heels with a board or something than to lift your feet during the motion.

Is a bent over row considered a pull? (I don't have a pull up bar and I've never been able to do them anyway. Of course, I expect that to change!)

Yep, it's a pulling motion.
