I have many symptoms of endometriosis but my pain during intercourse has only been deep a few times and is mostely near the outside of the vagina. (About 1 inch in is when I feel the pain). Is this possible with endometriosis?

Yes, it can be possible for endometriosis to cause superficial pain instead of deep pain.
Based on your symptoms it could also be an indication of a condition called vulvodynia (a painful condition of the external genital area called the vulva), but this is an example only. One of the classic symptoms of this condition like with endometriosis is painful intercourse.
However, I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
