If I understand correctly, (meaning guess) these processes just delete all the records from the database and create new ones, but if the database is corrupted, it would still BE corrupted.

Almost
The "delete all collections" will delete all
collections from the database. But it won't delete any "zombie"
book entries from it - which is what seems to cause your problem. But I can't tell for sure unless I can take a look at the actual database. So yes, even if you delete all collections, your DB might still contain junk entries. But it's worth giving it a try. In the worst case, you can still delete the entire database afterwards.

The only real solution would be to actually delete the database and start from scratch. If I delete the database, will the Kindle automatically create an empty one or do I need to do something else?

Yes, it will re-create it when the framework is restarted. Actually, the database contains information about both books and collections (and the special items, like "archive", too). So it will re-create the DB and populate it only with the books & stuff, but no collections.
