If it’s a third the size of Pluto than it’s not a pl;anet but a planetoid, right?

“Lots of these things could add up to the extra unknown gravity source.”

That is what they are implying. But the Sumerians could not be wrong... :)

Yes, or an overly large asteroid.

But the question is, “What is it orbiting, out there in the middle of its orbit?”...................

not 100% sure and maybe I missed something in the article as I just scanned it but believe that the only body it orbits is the Sun...

The sun. The more elongated the orbit, the further to one side of the orbit is the object that it’s being orbited around.

“This means that groundbreaking discoveries aren’t limited to those with access to the world’s largest telescopes.

The way I read the article, the data come from the world's largest telescopes. The new thing here is making the data available in a secondary (and free) market to interested parties other than the original researchers who paid for the telescope time. As an amateur, you get what you get ... but there's a LOT of what you can get posted on the interwebz.
