I have it set to pick up goods only from the islands that actually produce it, so if crown falls doesn't produce any steel, I have it drop off only and not pick up from there. I have a route that uses cargo ships for example that transports wood, brick, steel, windows, concrete, and aluminum between my old world capital, crown falls, and manola. Always split 1 good per slot and never mix. If you try to have both slots pick up coal on the first leg and then iron on the second, it'll work for a little while but sooner or later it will clog up your routes. So with the coal and iron trade you mentioned, if you're using a schooner, then the first slot could carry coal, and the second could carry the iron back. As long as each space is used for 1 good every leg of the journey, the cargo will never spill over into other slots. You can indeed ship stuff 2 ways, but I'd encourage you not to use the same spaces for different goods.
Trade took me a little bit to figure out too. I am willing to concede this is newbie skill level problems but am I the only one that finds the trade route system borked? How do you manage your trade routes? It just seem like an endless cycle fixing the log jam on a problem that grows with every second it isn't being monitored like a toddler near a hot stove. Moving coal to an island and sending iron bars back the other way no problem just make sure the storage you are sending coal to doesn't fill up or the iron will never get picked up, carefully time it so multiple islands are transporting coal to the island well you can forget that because an npc blocked the dock and now your trade ships are no longer on schedule and something is about to run out or overfill shutting down production. I find the schooner to be the most reliable trade ship, and goods are best moved as a mono resource and forget cascading resource dropping in fact it is better to have goods flow one way and nothing on the return trip, why because the ship logic is terrible.
I have found myself trying to keep goods flowing between multiple islands and had the hours just slip away having gotten nothing accomplished. New player loving the game, I think it looks fantastic and runs very smooth on my computer, there is one thing that just drives me baty.
