1) I cannot tell from the image whether the inner shield is fully struck.
2) Are there two small hits below the sash as it passes below Miss Liberty's right breast, or is this just the imaging?
3) Is it normal for the rivulet below the sash on the outer shield to be softly struck for coins in this grade? Virtually all 6s I've seen, with the exception of the 17 P Type 1 and several 20 Ps were struck this way.
Just curious.

a mark is a fold in the blousing of Ms Liberties Toga. The only coin in the series
to achieve full innershield, all rivets, full head and all ten toes is the 1917 Type 1 coin.
even the s & d mints of that year are struck with less clarity . The type 2 coins are a
markedly different die and have a more satiny luster rather then the matt type luster of the type 1.
In my opinion, the inner shield is full and only a few of the rivets are weakly struck. My main concern
is that the head be full struck with the leaves rounded and all structures of the head dress
fully delineated including the ear hole(which is sometimes a slash on some mints and years).
to earn the grade of MS-67 FH from PCGS, it has to be one hell of a coin. Next to the Head strike
my next concern is always a deep, full, unbroken , booming original luster. If the lady happens
to have all 10 toes showing , be rest assured that I will caress them with loving care, even if the
holder is in the way. Bear

If I might try an address some of your questions:
1) I cannot tell from the image whether the inner shield is fully struck.
The Inner shield detail on most Standing Liberty Quarters after 1917 are weak, especially S mint issues. The 1930 S is a far tougher coin to find in Gem Full Head than the more common 1930 P, which will typically have a far better strike. The 1930 S is routinely found with a "mushy" obverse strike, which this coin does not have when compared to many others of this date and mint mark. The inner shield and typically the 3rd and 4th rivets of the outer shield are always weak. This is not just so for this date, but for many dates, however this is very characteristic of this date and mint mark.
2) Are there two small hits below the sash as it passes below Miss Liberty's right breast, or is this just the imaging?
I took the images, and do not recall there being any major marks on this coin at all. While I do try to take true and honest images that represent the coin as you would see it in person, there are most certainly limitations to digital imaging.
3) Is it normal for the rivulet below the sash on the outer shield to be softly struck for coins in this grade? Virtually all 6s I've seen, with the exception of the 17 P Type 1 and several 20 Ps were struck this way.
See answer to question 1. Many dates after 1917 have weak detail in rivets 2, 3 and 4. However, there are dates, as in the 1927 P and 1925 P, that do come quite often with full and complete shield and rivet detail.
Not sure if this helps, but it's a start anyway.

Dont tell Mrs Bear, But I am madly, passionately enamored of Ms Liberty.
It matters not if she is bare on top ,or wearing her chain mail armored blouse.
