Because of the near-exact six-month period, the asteroid should be
observable again in nearly the same spot in the sky next May, having gone
around the Sun twice while Earth will have made only one circuit.

Presumably inferior conjunction occurs every year. Always in May, or does it
slowly wander through the year?

It's too early to tell - refined orbital elements are needed before one
can conclude whether this body is in resonance with the Earth or not.

Has a transit schedule been worked out? Would a transit of something so
small, be observable with current technology?

It would definitely be too small to observe in transit: the apparent
diameter of this body, when it's closest to the Earth, is expected to
be between 0.03 and 0.06 arc seconds.
