I've never gotten under the car to play around with sway bars before...say if I were to...is it as straightforward as driving the front of the car up on some ramps, unbolt and re-bolt to a tighter setting, and it's as easy as that?

That's pretty much it. Just unbolt the end link, move it to a hole on the sway bar closer to the front of the car and bolt it back up. Easier with a jack/jackstands and the front wheels off though.

Tires are the big thing. You have a ton of dough wrapped up in quality suspension pieces, but the mediocre stock tires aren't going to let them work to even close to their full ability.
