Can someone please walk me through the margin required to maintain a position such as a short put (On an ES Emini contract) as the market moves down to our strike and then away again?

See e.g. the primer of the CME that describes the process and contains some examples:
https://www.cmegroup.com/education/a-primer-on-margining-styles-for-options.html

The CME margin calculator (CME CORE) is detailed here:
CME CORE: Clearing Online Risk Engine

Depending on your broker margins can be lower, but in general it isn't recommended to
use the additional leverage (esp for beginners) since it spurs on overtrading.
