Any value of pot will work as a volume control. Yes the stereo jack will work fine. Plug your jack guitar cord into it and it is easy to see which two to use, black wire for the shaft and red wire for the tip. Do any wires touch somewhere else? In the diagrams are you looking at the bottom of your pot not the shaft side? I suspect some connections are reversed, or unlikely but you could have a bad pot.

You would use 2 piezos for a slightly mellower sound than one (bets decription I can think of) The parallel wiring works best, for me. Try it on your next CBG and see what you like better.
