Are ultralights only subject to FAA Part 103, or must ultralight

Yes and no, respectively.

So, if it was a Part 103 ultralight, Part 91 is not applicable
rendering the sheriff's mention of remaining 500' from persons and
structures incorrect, no?

If all parts of Part 103.1 "Applicability" (including the "intended" part
of 103.1(a) regarding single occupant) were satisfied, then it is my
understanding that no aspect of Part 91 is applicable. But there is always
103.9(a) "Hazardous operations", which is rather subjective. Then I suspect
it's a matter of the facts of the case and the persuasiveness of the
arguments the opposing lawyers make to the judge.
