very nicely done... very easy to read... thanks! (+1)
As you state correctly, no extra work is needed for the Extra Credit problem... just substitute 758 for 9074 in your solution.
First I'm using Euler's Totient function ϕ ( 1 9 8 4 5 ) = 9 0 7 2 , but in the Extra Credit I'm using Carmichael's Lambda function λ ( 1 9 8 4 5 ) = 7 5 6 ... the outcome is the same either way.
I don't quite agree that " reducing a 7 5 8 to a 2 mod the prime powers as above is a bit more difficult." Since ϕ and λ are the same on odd prime powers, you can use exactly the same approach as in the case of a 9 0 7 4 .... you can literally substitute 758 for 9074 in your solution and leave everything else unchanged.

1 9 8 4 5 = 3 4 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 2 . Use Euler's theorem and cases.
7 ∣ a ⇒ a 9 0 7 4 ≡ a 2 ≡ 0 ( m o d 7 2 )
7 ∤ a ⇒ a 9 0 7 4 ≡ a 9 0 7 4 ( m o d φ ( 7 2 ) ) ≡ a 2 ( m o d 7 2 ) .
5 ∣ a ⇒ a 9 0 7 4 ≡ a 2 ≡ 0 ( m o d 5 )
5 ∤ a ⇒ a 9 0 7 4 ≡ a 9 0 7 4 ( m o d 4 ) ≡ a 2 ( m o d 5 )
3 ∤ a ⇒ a 9 0 7 4 ≡ a 9 0 7 4 ( m o d φ ( 3 4 ) ) ≡ a 2 ( m o d 3 4 )
3 ∣ a , 9 ∣ a ⇒ a 9 0 7 4 ≡ a 2 ≡ 0 ( m o d 3 4 )
3 ∣ a , 9 ∤ a ⇒ a 9 0 7 4 ≡ 0 and a 2 ≡ 0 ( m o d 3 4 )
3 ∣ a , 9 ∤ a is the only case when a 9 0 7 4 ≡ a 2 ( m o d 1 9 8 4 5 ) doesn't hold.
There are 2 2 2 such a 's with 1 ≤ a ≤ 1 0 0 0 . They are:
1 ⋅ 3 , 2 ⋅ 3 , 4 ⋅ 3 , 5 ⋅ 3 , 7 ⋅ 3 , 8 ⋅ 3 , … , 3 3 1 ⋅ 3 , 3 3 2 ⋅ 3
So answer: 1 0 0 0 − 2 2 2 = 7 7 8 .
In the same way in the extra credit question we know a doesn't satisfy it iff υ 3 ( a ) = 1 just like before, which is the notation for 3 1 ∣ a , 3 2 ∤ a (i.e. 3 1 is the highest power of 3 diving a . See LTE paper ).
There are 2 2 2 such a 's with 1 ≤ a ≤ 1 0 0 0 , as shown above.
Answer: 1 0 0 0 − 2 2 2 = 7 7 8 .
