My main 6509 and I call it that because it is configured to be the Active partner in HSRP. Below is the HSRP configuration for Switch 1 and Switch 2. I want to turn on HSRP for Switch 1. It should be as simple as below.
router eigrp 10
Network 192.168.240.0
Network 192.168.242.0
Network 192.168.253.0
Network 192.168.254.0
autonomous-system 101
Should I use this same eigrp configuration for the standby HSRP device (Switch 2)?
Should I only advertise the networks that have vlan interfaces on my switches?
Also vlan 255 is a management address so I should not advertise it with a network statement on either switch? Also I should not be pointing the management address at a standby right?
Is there any thing missing from my configuration?

You need to configure both switches with the same EIGRP domain and vlan info, but you should use passive interface for all your vlans except the transit vlan so the peering is established using the transit vlan. So create vlan as a transit vlan and give it ip address and don't make it passive.

Your HSRP priorities should follow your spanning-tree root. If switch 1 is your STP root it should also be router HSRP primary (higher priority). I would avoid setting HSRP priority at the max of 255 as it doesn't leave room to preempt it with another device if you need to preform a manual switch over, I would pick a lower number such as 250, add standby xxx preempt, and leave your standby switch priority at default(100).
Your EIGRP configuration looks correct. Are there any Layer3 links between these switches? You may want to consider making some of those VLANs passive in EIGRP using either "passive-interface vlan xxx" or "passive-interface default" with "no passive-interface vlan xxx"
