ABBYY FineReader isn't very good at exporting ePub directly... But I guess it works fine, considering that the feature was just added in version 11. Try updating it to the latest build from the official website. Otherwise, you're gonna need Sigil to add a cover and metadata info.
The part about retaining the "Author information" in the ePub sounds like a bug in FineReader. It's most likely added to the file if you export it as a DOC, DOCX, or PDF, but not ePub. This was probably fixed in later builds, so make sure that you have the latest one.
