You don't have to require a session. require shibboleth is a dummy rule that just activates the SP lazily. There's no reason that shouldn't work for you.

However, by inpsection I determined that HTTP_COOKIE=_shibsession_randomstring=SHIB_SESSION_ID and so was hoping to use the SHIB_SESSION_ID to get attributes previously exported to the session cache during the initial access to /secure. Is that possible?

Not really. Not practically anyway.
