The swap option only works if the data is read from the file name. The read metadata from file (next to it) would need to be unchecked.

I am confused what your "One other point" is, we change options to suit what we do in calibre all of time. The swap option does work when adding books reading their file name. I don't know if this can be done when adding books from the Kindle. The
Quick Preferences Plugin allows quick on the fly changing of these settings, quite easily.
Update:
This thread should help you change a bunch of these last, first names using the search and replace in the bulk metadata edit area.
Good Luck.
