Where my confusion is in Word-97, is what Table Option do I select to get just a simple two column table, such that one can tab to each column and be positioned on the left of the column.

It's been a long time since I used Word 97. There was a menu called "Table" but I don't recall how tables were created. My vague recollection is that there may be a command on the Table menu called, perhaps, "Insert table…" which opens a dialog box in which you specify the number of rows and columns you want to create. When you close the dialog box, the table appears at the cursor position.

Word-97 offers a Table of Contents which is two columns. Text is in 1st and Left aligned. Right just shows numbers and is Right aligned. All other Table options presented are NOT the simple two column text as described above, unless somehow they can be adapted ???.

The "Table of Contents" is not a table. The formatting in a Table of Contents is accomplished by setting tab stops in clever ways, not by using a Word table.
Another way you might accomplish what you're trying to do is to use tab stops rather than wrapping content in a Word table. Overall, though, I think it will be easier to use a table – but first you'll need to sort out how to create and modify tables.
