IMO no. Filtered html has still too much "Office"-Styles which are useless (or worse...).

If the target is epub, i would never run it through calibre. Instead i would use sigil to tidy up the remaining "office" and give the Book a proper shape. (Which is probablys more work espeacially in your case...)

There are Word Macros here in this forum which generate a better HTML-source than "filtered word-html"

I guess no. A test with ADE and epubcheck/flightcrew can't hurt. Testing with any webbrowser-based application (such as the Firefx plugin) is worthless in most cases.
