Better yet, in Pt II, when Marty and Doc go back to the alternate 1985 (where Biff runs the city, his father was murdered, etc.) Marty comes up with the idea of returning to 2015 and stop old Biff from stealing the Delorean. Doc explains why this won't work as THAT 2015 would be the future of the one they're currently in (the alternate timeline which he draws on the chalkboard)

If this is indeed the case, how did old Biff return to the original 2015 (where Doc and Marty were trying to get Jennifer how of older Marty's house) and return the Delorean where he stole it?

By giving his younger self the almanac, wouldn't that have changed the course of time and rendered him unable to return to that original 2015?

2015 changed around Marty and Doc. If you notice, Biff doesn't return to 2015 until Doc and Marty are outside the house leaving. It's no longer 2015 at that point and is now 2015A, Marty and Doc just don't notice. A deleted scene shows Biff "fade away" after landing the Delorian. It's explained on the commentary this happened because Loraine shot Biff sometime in the 1990's. They should have left that little scene in.
