After the overheating incident, I decided to try the head gasket sealer, since I didn't have much to lose. I've not driven the car hardly at all since the sealer.

Sorry about getting that wrong.
I think the point is that you had a head gasket failure and it was "fixed" by magic goo. Doing a compression test as you suggest could (re-)highlight this problem again but to my mind it seems that you already know what is wrong.
I think it is time to remove the head and see what damage has been caused. I don't think you're going to get much further by adding additives and adjusting valves this time. I'm sorry to bring you bad news...
