what is this id use for? should I remove it?

and I also saw the Preference --> save books to disk,
the template is
{author_sort}/{title}/{title} - {authors}

and...where is the calibre id variable ?
The ID is there in case you have two writers in database that have identical name.
Look at the thread linked in previous post.
Calibre Library folder is used exclusively by Calibre to store books and you should not use that folder yourself. Do not add books to it manually, because you would cause chaos. Do not copy books from Calibre library by going manually to the Calibre Library folder, use "export" functionality instead. This is because Calibre does not update metadata in files, such as epub when you edit book metadata - title, author, series. The metadata is only updated when the book is "exported" using "save to disk" menu item, or "load to the device".
