Oh now i understand..And yes, you can.
First, make sure the ext drive is plugged.
Open Steam client, click Steam (upper-left corner), go to the Downloads tab and select STEAM LIBRARY FOLDERS and then browse for the Steam download folder on the ext-drive :)

No, you can't move Steam games from the library of one account to the library of another.

No, it's not. You can use family sharing with your second library though.

ok, copy(not cut, copy) game files from steamapps to new library, DELETE the game through steam, re-install it in new library. It will check the files and "install" it in a minute.

Just make a backup from the steam folders before u move them

and then move them to another disk, this is the only way

this i think for me the only possible solution is erase data of the game and reinstall in the new folder :)

It is possible with some manipulations with steamapps folder. Just move (cut and paste) the game files from one steamapps\common in one library folder to steampps\common in another, delete the game in Steam and re-install it in the library you pasted it into. If everything went smooth, it won't redownload the game.

Yeah, just move the appmanifest file and game data to the other folder! Should work o.o
