I have to of course turn the .odt into an .html and then bring it over to Sigil, but I'm wondering (I'm of course going to try to convert whatever Liberation Serif I can find back to Times New Roman) if some Liberation Serif is still in there, is it going to screw up the font on the final product? (Will there be two different fonts in the epub and mobi?)

Thanks.
That has got to be a OO ODT thing.

Sigil works fine with many fonts...
As long as you get the @font, font-family bit correct.

I changed one books DOS era computer screen dialog to a IBM 3270 Monospace (IBM Mainframe-3270 display, era font had a distinctive look)
Chapter Heads were LCD/LED digits
For most cases, I leave the main body font alone (device default)

BTW Have you tried Writer2epub (PI) to see what happens that way?
