For those in need of some gameplay help...

Try doing what they say here Moving a Steam Installation and Games from the Steam Support knowledge base. Depending upon how many Steam games you have, it might take a bit to move it all outside of the Program Files folder. When you have only the C: drive available, you only have one Steam Library folder, and it is "C:\Program Files (x86) \Steam \SteamApps \Common", and all your games are below that Common folder, similar to what 1Patriotofmany shows in his #3. As you install Steam, it will give you a choice for the path to be used for the install. I usually edit to "C:\Games", and then the install app itself makes it "C: \Steam \SteamApps \Common \Wolves of the Pacific". The main components of Steam itself still end up in Program Files (x86), but the Steam Library is now in the Games folder.

1) I tried following what the video said step-by-step. Created the new folder and everything, then tried to select it on Steam settings. The folder I created didn't even appear in the options.

Did you delete the SH4 folder in your documents when you reinstalled the game? Do that and restart computer. You do understand the mod you want to use needs to be activated within JSGME, correct? Let's just worry about getting it running rather than trying to move it right now.

You can move it later manually by following #3 on down in the steps I posted previously, then you start the game by using the shortcut you made to the folder rather than the steam launcher.

If you want to go scorched earth, uninstall steam and delete the SH4 in your documents, then reinstall steam. It will give you the option to install steam elsewhere.
