As a side note, when I've filed motions with a court (granted it was a state family court) if we went in person, the clerk would automatically stamp the motion with a case number, as well as date the motion for hearing. By mail, we would receive back a copy of the first page of the motion stamped with the case number, docket number and date. Does that not happen when filing with the USSC?

Yes, that is normal procedure in the US SC. You file your paper, whatever it is, and you get back immediately a copy of that paper with the Clerk's date stamp on the back of it. The Forrester Petition for Cert was properly filed in the US SC. It was just not properly handled within the Court.
