Please consider this a newbie question. Am an SWL, not a HAM, and am
considering an MFJ loop as the primary indoor SWL antenna, along with
an active antenna as a less potent secondary, the two connected via an
antenna switch.

So lets say I read in a schedule that a certain frequency in the 49
meter band right now should have an interesting broadcast station on
the air, so I set my receiver digital readout to that freq, then
what's the procedure to tune the loop to that same exact frequency,
having no transmiter?

Without going through their catalog, the only loop I am familiar with is
their amateur magnetic loop- whose response from memory goes down to
perhaps 30M- but not below. Is this the loop you are considering, or do
they now make a SW receiving loop?
