Yes Calibre will understand it. No, don't change filenames. Change the regular expression in Preferences |Add/Save and turn on Get metadata only from filename. I'd write the regex for you, but it's easier if you give a sample filename (do your series have a number in them?)

Some books ended up with the title and author swapped over - is there a way to swap them back without editing the data manually?
Yes (I learned a few days ago). Edit the metadata (select it and press "E") then hit the button to the right of "Title".

. Is there an option to see which ebooks don't have covers yet?
Yes. In Search box type: cover:false
