Is there an easy way to select all polygons within a selected edge boundary? Selecting each polygon manually would be a pain.

For selection to be confined within a perimeter or boundary, Blender needs to know something that distinguishes both sides of the boundaries. Boundaries can include differences in Material, Normal, UV, Edges marked as Seam or Sharp. So you could for example press Ctrl+E with those edges in your screenshot selected and choose Mark Seam. While hovering your mouse in that area you want to select, press L. And then in the lower left corner where the Operation Popup shows up, change Selected Link to Seam. And then clear the boundary later with Clear Seam.

Or you could do it the manual way. But don't worry it isn't that tedious since we have the power of Ctrl and Shift to select multiple faces quickly. In Face Select mode, You can click a face and click another face while holding down Ctrl to select a group of faces part of a face loop. And you can use a combination of Ctrl and Shift to select an entire grid of faces.
