Ever heard of Rohan?
A UK designed top quality brand for half a century, highly recommended if you can order from the States
Rohan socks are expensive, I have one pair of their cheapest 'Alltime'; they fit, they don't move.

$19 for one pair of socks? Yikes!
What makes them worth that?

Any advice on how to determine the proper size to get when it comes to compression socks?
For every regular socks, I stuff I get from Target has a pretty large range, like I get a big bag of socks they says "fits shoe sizes 6-12" and be done with it.
Can I play it similarly fast and loose with compression socks too or is there a more exact method to figuring out what size to get when it comes to compression socks?

Get measured for proper fit.
In the UK you can buy calf length from pharmacies but the off the shelf are not as good as NHS prescribed. And how can 3 sizes they offer fit a very lean or fat person properly?
Here, a doctor will refer you to a pharmacy where your calf and thigh are measured at various points, you chose closed or open toe, half or full length as needed, black or skin colour.

Apparently nothing.
