「ませんか」の情報
ませんか (or ないか more casually) is an expression that is used after verbs as an invitation. It basically translates to 'won't you do (A) with me?'.
This expression is a little bit different to ましょうか, in that it sounds directly like an invitation to do (A). ましょうか tends to sound more like a suggestion that (A) should be done.
It is recommended to use the ませんか version, as ないか would be a bit too casual to use with someone that you are not very close with (and is also technically not correct Japanese).
To make it clearer that the speaker wants to do (A) 'with' someone, expressions like 一緒に 'together' are often added, for clarification.
To examine the difference between ましょうか and ませんか, let's have a look at how the nuance changes in the same type of sentence.
Here, ませんか will come across as an invitation due to the fact that you are asking the person if they 'wouldn't mind doing (A)' with you. This is the main reason that it is considered a more polite option when inviting someone to do something, than ましょうか.

Does adding ませんか always have an implied “with me”? I noticed that all of the example sentences included it, even the ones without an explicit 一緒に or the like.

Hey
It often has “together with me (the inviter)” nuance, since it is used to make invitations but it is not always the case.
Example:
私の先生になってくれませんか?
Won’t you become my teacher?eefara
I see; thanks for the clarification!

I am just curious what the orange highlighting represents.

@deltacat3 Hey! This just has to do with the note found on the grammar point’s Meaning page: “[Often used with 一緒に to clarify that the speaker wants to do something together].” Cheers!

I just wanted to say, that I believe there is a typo in the description.

Is ないですか a valid way to end this form? (How です can be added to the end of ない to make it more polite)

In some of the examples/questions, it seems I need to put し before ませんか, for しませんか… But I can’t seem to find or understand the exact reasoning, unless it has something to do with し as a particle…?
IcyIceBear
し is a stem form of the verb する, so thats why its added in those sentences.
