They've updated the guidelines several times since 2011. Why don't you check out the latest version? BTW, Kindle Previewer uses KindleGen.

I'm not quite sure about this myself, since I also included the same image in the ePub that I uploaded and it seems to work.

You can do all of this and more automatically with the latest Sigil version as long as your chapter headings have been formatted as heading tags (h1..h6). I.e., you'd first automatically create a regular (NCX-based) table of contents and then an HTML TOC for older Kindles.
BTW, since this is a Calibre forum, you may want to post any additional questions in the Sigil, ePub or Kindle forums.
