Nice Tiki, Surf-in-turf, he's going to be excellent, I can see already.
The blade you have sharpens Exactly like a chainsaw, bicause it IS a Chainsaw chain. The guy really ripped you for 12$, I would go back and tell him so too. Use normal chainsaw files for your blade, like the one you already have. Does the chain come right off the disk when you remove it from the grinder? If it does like mine, just open your vise (if you have one) wide enough to hild the chain and file it there. It is much easier sharpening a flat row of chain than a round one. Just try to take the same amout of strokes on each tooth, that way the teeth will stay about the same length. Oh and one more thing, you can have the guy who owns the chainsaw repair shop who sharpened it earlier, (or someone else you trust)MAke a chain for you, It looks like 1/4 pitch chain and should be sold by the link to determine price. Just take the chain in and say you need this size chain for my short bar. Don't tell them int on a disk since that gives them something to charge you more for. He had to take the chain off the disk anyway to sharpen it.
