Do I need to broadcast the transaction or am I in OK shape, just gotta wait for the person to confirm? I would post a screen shot but iIdont have anywhere to host it.
According to the post below, Electrum shouldn't actually ask you to do that:
Electrum is an SPV wallet, it does NOT broadcast transactions like a Full node. you make the transaction and then send it to an electrum node which is a full node and that broadcasts your tx to the network and your tx is now propagated throughout the bitcoin network and now all bitcoin nodes are "broadcasting" it
to bump fees you should have marked it as an RBF transaction so that you could easily bump the fees up.
As LoyceV said, we really don't know what you actually did but rebroadcasting isn't needed in an SPV wallet because it doesn't ask us to (at least I haven't witnessed any such problems with that).
