Not sure what lcd without any parameter is supposed to do. I think, it's merely printing your current working directory so you know "where you are". Thus, probably not needed.

*Testing GET command to verify I will put something in local folder. Allows
me to make sure everything is pointing to the right places.*

What do you mean by testing? Either you get something, or you don't.

*Telling FTP where to go get the data on IBM i Power Server*

This is established by a single get command.

Maybe I need to do a GET from the IBM i Power Server first to establish WHATEVER???

Are you probably referring to namfmt? This is a thing only with IBM i.

get /QSYS.LIB/cobolkid1.LIB/qrpglesrc.FILE/samplepgm.MBR samplex.txt

and

get cobolkid1/qrpglesrc.samplepgm samplex.txt

are equivalent. I like the latter for accessing data in qsys.lib because less typing needed.
