When you add a book to the library from your device, Calibre will read whatever metadata is stored within the book. I don't know which fields can be stored in a MOBI, but you should get most, if not all, of your metadata that way.

As for creating collections on the Kindle, I believe there's a plugin out there called something like the Kindle collection manager.

I don't know, I backup manually. Other members may be able to help you more, I remember reading discussions about backing up a few times.
