Had some metalwork done near the saltwater pool. Have a multitude of small rust spots throughout.

Vitamin C. Grab some Vitamin C tablets and rub it on those rust spots. They should lift.

I think I may be outta luck. Pool was tiled with antislip tiles, maybe that's making it worse for me
Maybe try sulfamic acid.
Try a test spot to make sure that the sulfamic acid is not going to damage the tile.

Maybe oxalic acid.
Oxalic acid has much greater acid strength than acetic acid.
It is a reducing agent and its conjugate bases hydrogen oxalate (HC2O−4) and oxalate (C2O2−4) are chelating agents for metal cations.
It is used as a cleaning agent, especially for the removal of rust, because it forms a water-soluble ferric iron complex, the ferrioxalate ion.
Oxalic acid typically occurs as the dihydrate with the formula H2C2O4·2H2O.

Get one of these, get the spots wet an lay it on them for a while. Contains oxalic acid.
Note that the location is Southwest Costa Rica, which might cause issues getting chemicals.
