The shoulder ought to be a chuck roast if I understand bovine anatomy like I think I do. Should be very well-marbled. Have you done pulled beef before? The ClayQ recipe will make you a believer:

How much does the tip roast weigh? That's a harder decision to make I think. Probably too lean to make a good pot roast. Roast and slice for sandwiches maybe? -
P.S. Google says tri-tip is sometimes labeled loin tip roast. Going to be some good eatin' in the Nurse residence this week.

I have chuck roast labeled chuck. This shoulder could be like a chuck. It's longer than the chuck ones. About 1 inch thick.
The loin I googled either tri tip or sirloin roast. Is that same thing?? It's about 2-2.5 inches and smaller. Let me try a picture._______________________________________________XLBGE -

Tri-tip comes from the sirloin so they could very well be used synonymously here. How much does it weigh? In the ballpark of 2.5 pounds? I'd bet that even if it's not cut like a tri-tip it would still grill up and taste a lot like one. Cook it T-Rex style and slice thin across the grain.
As for the shoulder roast -- chuck comes from the front shoulder region. I bet it's indistinguishable but do wonder why it's labeled differently? -
P.S. I'm envious of that coconut cream pie you've got hoarded away!
