You are asking some questions here that are very deep and complex to answer fully, and would require me to spend a day or more crafting a full response. I unfortunately cannot do that, so I'll give a very much shortened answer instead.
The definition of self esteem is pretty well thought out and defined in standard psychology already, and as demonstrated by the articles you mention. My definition of it is not necessarily as important as you may think, since I have taken to using a method within my subliminals that takes into account the definition of the person using the program, and only places what I call "steering points" to prevent miscommunication between me (through the script) and the individual using my programming. Thus, my definition isn't quite as important as that of the individual, and that definition offered by the individual is steered to it's most positive and effective state for achieving the goals of the program by the script.

Yes, they develop positive self esteem to various degrees according to the goal of the program, the needs of the individual and their current state, along with the stage of the program in use. In some cases development is direct and intentional, and in some cases it will be indirect or peripheral, as a result of one or more other direct modules interacting and/or achieving their results.

This is where we get into "I don't realistically have the time to answer this fully". The short and simple answer is:
Self esteem and self worth are neither entirely separate nor entirely the same thing. They deal with overlapping aspects of one another, but are not always dealing with all of the aspects of eachother.
Self esteem deals with a sense of accomplishment and state of being and it's assessment, not just in value, but in terms of state. Self worth deals primarily with the value of the self with regards to those things.
Because the two are so closely linked, a high sense of self esteem and a low sense of self worth are contradictory, and difficult to find. One of these partially defines itself in very similar ways to the other, and so they tend to both be at similar levels of value within the individual. You could imagine an Euler diagram in which, say, 70% of the diagram was representative of overlap between two options or variables. I am not saying there is a definitive amount of overlap, but the point is that they are different, and yet similar enough to make it very difficult to find cases of large disparity between the two within one person.
