Hello,
This is a very "noobish" question, but I was trying to pin-point, in
utmost detail the exact universal address of a location on earth. So
far this is what I've got

City -- Santa Monica
State -- CA
Zip - 90401
Country - United States
Hemisphere - Western Hemisphere
Planet - Earth
Solar System - 'Our Solar System'
Globular Cluster - ??? and/or Distance from Galactic Center -- ???
Galaxy -Milky Way (Nearest neighboring galaxy = Messier 31, Andromeda)
Mini (dozens) Galaxy Cluster -- Local Group
Larger (thousands) Galaxy Cluster -- Virgo Cluster

Questions.
1. Does "our solar system" have any more of a scientific name than
"our solar sytem"? that sounds incredibly lame.
2. What is the name (if any ) of our globular cluster and distance
from galactic center within the Milky Way?

We are not in a globular cluster.

3. Finally, I've been doing research to make this more complete and
ran into Messier objects (to advanced astronomers I'm sure they're
familiar, but they were fairly new to me). Does the Local Group and/
or Virgo Cluster have some more scientific-sounding Messier Group
name? "local group" and "virgo cluser" (not unlike "our solar system")
again, sounds incredibly lame and informal.
4. Finally, can this be expanded out any more? Are their "quadrants"
of the universe or something in which the Virgo Cluster would be
located?

May I suggest you to go and visithttp://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/?
You will have a more precise idea of our neighbourhood.

by the way, that site looks revealing and fascinating. however, how
did scientists derive that information, such as the "neighboring
superclusters"? surely that must be from all mathematical equations
and no actual observable data; anyone no a layman's way of describing
how we have an idea of where we're located in relation to other
superclusters? thanks.
