How can I identify key verses in John dealing with the deity of Christ in Logos? After that I want to deeply explore their exegesis in scholarly commentaries and journal articles.
Run a theological guide on "God the son".
How do I do the theological guide? It does not come up on my Logos?
Is there an easier way to find references from John's Gospel?
You need to learn basic research skills - within and without Logos. Once you know your resources well, you will be able to select a resource that is a reliable starting point for particular topics. Until then it is search all.

The ultimate, more selective Search is:
([field heading,largetext]"god the son", "son of god") BEFORE <John>
---> it looks for articles (rather than phrases in "All text") that contain references to the gospel.
There is also Jesus' Divinity sermon starter guide.
