When Tobey-man comes in through Ned's portal he looks and MJ and Ned's grandmother and says something like he knows them already... What am I missing here....

Plot hole

There were a few but I feel like this was meant to be something and I can't figure it out

Well I haven't seen the movie yet, but what you described, sounds like a plot hole

It was weird but I suspect a cut scene with Tobey without showing his face helping grandma in some fashion.

The biggest hole is Doc Ock and Sandman knowing Norman was Goblin.

Tobey and Andrew have been in Tom’s universe for about a day or so at that point.

I’m sure they probably would have been looking at the news at some point and would have seen Tom’s Peter Parker, MJ and Ned on the news.

It’s why Tobey says when he sees Andrew with MJ and Ned ‘wait, you’re not their friend’ as he was expecting Tom Holland based on the news.

Yeah that's the conclusion I've come too as well now

I do not remember specifically but could he have just been acknowledging her? Like "Hello, person in the room"?

Yeah he just says hello and she smiles they dont know each other. But Tobey saw the news and saw Mj Ned and Tom there

Maybe she reminded him of his version of Aunt May or something. What I’ve been wondering is…

(SPOILERS) …why didn’t he use his spider sense to know that a certain character behind him was going to attack him?

That isn't what happened. He acknowledged her, but there was no implication they'd ever met.
