I am attempting to boot from a USB drive on the motherboard listed above. I can't find that particular boot option in the BIOS menu. Is this even possible? From what I understand I can set the PC to boot from USB in Windows 10, yes? If so, how do I set it back? I want to perform some network diagnostics outside of Windows using Linux loaded from a USB drive and I have no idea how that would restore the original boot order if I can't access Windows.

Simply boot from the USB stick, I use it all the time as a repair tool.
