Hmm. How would this fit my original requirements? How can I "send" a
terminal session to a remote machine with this? I see how kibitz could
be used the other way around (remote kibitz connecting to a local one),
but that requires login credentials. Not quite what I'm looking for.

Agreed. There's also a program called "gems" that broadcasts a scree.
It's not interactive though, and can't be used in quite the way I want
either.
