I'm trying to file for federal extension. At the end of the process, TT online button says "Transmit My Returns". Why? This is an extension. I'm hesitant to click.

If you did not prepare a complete return, then it means your extension is going to be transmitted.

That is my hesitation.

My return is 90% done.

I want TT to just file for an extension.

The top of the page I worked up to says "Turbotax extension consent agreement"  but the button says "Transmit my return now".  So the page seems inconsistent.

The button should say "Transmit my extension now"
If I click it, I'm not sure what it would do.

Not sure why that is stating transmit returns, the following FAQ might help you.

I don't know but maybe file an extension outside of your account by using TurboTax Easy Extension.
