If grout is already dry but has not been sealed yet, what is the best
way to remove (scrape off?) it from the adjusted to the edge area of
the travertine tile?

I have been working with my Travertine for 20 years. The only way I
can think of fixing the situation would be to get a good supply of
razor blades and a blade type scraper and carefully scrape off the
excess. If you are careful and use the proper angle, you may be
successful. NO NO acid or vinegar, etc. The Travertine is very soft
compared to other stones and will etch quickly with any acid.
