Should I be routinely downloading my Amazon books to my PC into the Calibre folder or...? Should Calibre generated Kindle books be kept separate on my PC from original Amazon purchased books or should I not bother downloading from Amazon to my PC at all?
NO NO, Don't ever put anything into the Calibre folder.

Calibre manages that folder ( and the folder contains Calibres managed COPIES of your books, NOT the originals).

Download books not already elsewhere on your computer (or attachable as Disk device (Yes! You can copy books INTO the Library from your device, Now using the attached device library GUI, formerly treating it as another drive)

Add your books, using one of the dozens of optional methods the interface provides.
Then you can offload your Original files to your Archive.
