I apologize in advance for the simplicity of this question. I use R
2-3 times a year, and I seem to forget more in the intervening
months than I learn during my days of panicked reading.... I HAVE
tried looking at the help resources; I'm just not very good at
understanding them.
I have a dataframe with 18 observations of 5 different things, and a
second dataframe with and estimate for those 5 things. I'm trying
to add the estimated points to the boxplot of observations. I THINK
I'm failing because I need to decompose my estimated dataframe into
two vectors. I can't seem to figure out how to do that properly, or
if I'm suffering from a different misunderstanding....

I think you are only supplying y values with no x values:
Try:
points(1:5, Est1, pch=23, col="red")
