Answer 1

Hi @Glenn Maxwell
You could tyr "Set-PnPFolderPermission" to grant permission for user in folder, for example:

Set-PnPFolderPermission -List 'Shared Documents' -Identity 'Shared Documents\Folder' -User 'user@contoso.com' -AddRole 'Contribute'

Answer 2

You cannot use PowerShell to provide access to specific folders/files only. The cmdlet above will give access to the entire content of the user's OneDrive. If that's not what you want, grant permissions to your admin user, open the OneDrive and then use the Share functionality against the folders in questions. If you want to achieve this programmatically, use CSOM or the Graph API.
