I can only answer some of those questions, but here we go...

(example: before the upgrade i had 1530 books, after I have 1525.)

While I can't help you with that, I can say that you should add some more information to help the wizards troubleshoot. In particular, the version you upgraded from, the version you upgraded to and your OS would be of interest, I think.

That sounds dangerously like you're messing around inside Calibre's library folder. You're not supposed to do that, use the GUI for accessing the books.

Yes, it doesn't support those formats. Convert to a supported format externally and go from there.

How can I add the metadata to the book, short of reconverting the book in the same format?

I don't know for sure, AFAIK, some metadata gets written into some formats right away. You'll have to wait for someone knowledgeable to show up.
