ResourceLoader is happy to ring files to the client from anywhere below the base path you set when creating a file module. If that base path js the root of the extension then you can just put the shared js code in a folder accessible by both node.js and ResoriceLoader, maybe a /lib folder or something.
Be careful when doing this with NPM modules, as their contents are subject to change, and only their index file is configured and trying to automatically know the paths and inclusion order is more of a mad science than an art. Your best bet would be hard-coding and using very specific versions in your package.json to protect from unexpected changes dues to subtle NPM module version differences.
As for needing some $.extend, URL parsing and reconstructing, and logging. I'm assuming you mean taking client code to the server where jQuery and common browser functionally might not be present. There are many NPM modules that provide shims for these things, including full-on server-side jQuery. Usually the differences are subtle if any. Members of the Paraoid team are very familiar with this space and are probably good people to talk to about this.

For JS gurus - what is the best way to share JavaScript library code between the NodeJS and browser? The shared library will need to use $.extend()-like functionality, URL parsing and reconstructing, and logging.
How should the code be organized? What are the recommended tools to automate the process?
