Can a Cisco C9300L-48P-4X switch be used to fully power a FortiAP 441K via dual PoE sharing, or can dual PoE sharing be accomplished via FortiSwitches only?

It will work fine as long as LLDP is enabled on the switch. That being said, that's a 1-gig switch with a 10G MGig capable AP. You are leaving a lot of throughput on the table.

Understood on the throughput. Trying to power it first, and then manage throughput for now.  Related question, what happens if the 441K only gets 30 watts via a single PoE port on that switch?

It doesn't work. It requires 2x POE or 1xPOE+
