what are "values" and how are those distinct from values?
This seems like a useful notion… maybe it’s closer to “virtues” than “values”? Nearly all the examples in your document seem like they would count as “virtues” in a standard virtue-ethics framing?

Yes, virtues are a subset. Virtues are usually held to be moral. Values can include aesthetic ideas which guide us, ideas which guide us without focus on others' wellbeing, etc. Also as a pairing for "respect anothers' goals", "respect anothers' values" > "...virtues".

OK… there are some usages in which “virtues” cover much wider ground than just ethics, covering e.g. aesthetics and epistemology. But as long as one is clear about how the word is used, it doesn’t matter so much which word one picks!
