3) Tagging books via Calibre to show up in the Library only helps with epub files, all other formats are ignored. According to 2) you can set {tags}/{authors_sort}/{title}, the you have it at least in the files directory

Just to see if I understand you: do you mean I import the books into Calibre, then delete them on the device, and then re-send them to the device, so that now Calibre sees them?
