[2020] Option for Shared Recipes on found books, please.

It sounds like the two of you are being competetive, rather than cooperative. Why do both of you need to learn every recipe? So long as either one of you learns it you can both obtain the item crafted from it through cooperation; Just ensure that if it's something like tool or weapon recipes that the one with that skill is the one who learns it first.

The second player can always learn the recipe down the line when an additional copy is found. Be cooperative, Not competetive. :P

However it would be very helpful to have a simple indicator telling you if you have already learned something or not. I pick up a lot of schematics and often already have them, but get annoyed to look in the building list if i already have the schematic unlocked.
A small indicator like "already learned" or a symbol in the description would be great!

There...There is. The little icon in the top left of the recipe's icon is the indicator. It's a closed book if it's not known, it's open if it's known. There's indicators like that on numerous types of items, including but not limited to items that have mods on it having a small gear, explosive items having an explosive icon, items with a shape menu have a trio of shapes icon, etc.
