Looking at the keybindings here http://orgmode.org/guide/Structure-editing.html#Structure-editing, it asks us to use
M-S-<RET>
to add a TODO at the same level. What does the S here mean? I have tried shift and capital S, neither have worked.

The "S" means "shift". Since you're using a terminal, you can't type a keyboard shortcut that uses shift unless the shift is modifying a letter (if the shortcut were C-S-j, Emacs would see C-J and know it was the same thing).
Use Emacs outside of your terminal instead, where it has a wider set of capabilities.
C-h k
and the keysequence, if it is perhaps something is intercepting the keypress at the operating system level.
