An idea:
Move some of your data to your external HDD to free up some disk space temporarily.
Install Xcode (to your internal HDD).
Move the Xcode application to your external HDD (I believe it is OK to relocate recent versions of Xcode by dragging it in the Finder, since it is now a self-contained application).

My system is to not install apps that don't have a mechanism for alerting me of their update status.
I have an email account (or you could use rules) and RSS technology to keep track of seldom used apps. Most apps I use regularly also have internal update notifications similar to Apple's for iTunes and MAS/OS updates.
That bypasses the need to devote time ...

Macupdate Desktop does this for $20/year.

You say the apps were downloaded under your friend's account, and they are paid.
Paid = You pay for it -- not friend pays for it.
There is a limitation in iOS preventing this from happening - you will need to know your friend's Apple ID and password to open the app - to prove it was you who bought them.
But why?
Without this limitation, there would be an ...

I want to comment on Emil's answer but it appears I don't have the cred to comment.
I just wanted to add that I had a similar problem updating xcode. Simply clearing the cache and restarting App Store worked for me.

For a Photoshop "equivalent", there is already Photoshop Element (80$) that is cheaper but has much less functionalities.
Of course there is also Gimp (Free), but IMHO it's horrible to use on OSX and not available on the Mac App Store.
If you're looking for a simple and quite powerful software for your money, there is Pixelmator (16$) or Acorn (currently ...

Web apps are easy, you just need to use Apple Configurator or the iPhone configuration utility to package the URL and add it to the home screen. You can also perform this from mobile safari directly.
