But when I actually send an AZW3 to my Paperwhite, the main menu screen shows the title and author, but no series and series index.

I'm a total noob and much of Calibre still confuses me, so I'd appreciate a clearly worded solution that an 8-year-old would understand! LOL!
That template you set configures the filename sent to your device. In order to alter what you see on your device you need to use metadata plugboards found in calibre Preferences->Metadata plugboards. Using the metadata plugboard to alter the metadata title field should do what you want.

Examples can be found in this thread.
