Thank you in advance

Please consider the issues associated with using these fonts. This is a grey area at best, and more likely software piracy (depending on the country in which you are located). There does not seem to be any way to obtain licenses for these fronts from Amazon (Bookerly) or Google (Literata).
However - the issue you mention is not specific to those fonts. Some people have reported success in simply
renaming font files, but it also depends on Panose information (contained within the font files themselves).
You can use
FontForge to fix this. Open the font files in question. For each one, go to 'Element' menu -> Font Info -> OS/2 -> Panose. Click the "Default" checkbox. Then, generate a new copy of the font: File menu -> Generate Fonts.

This is a bit more complicated. It depends partially on the reader/book format and also on the publisher and if/how they defined settings for justification in CSS.
One option is to use Calibre to change the justification of your books while converting them. When converting, you can choose to convert an ePub to an ePub. Under 'Look and Feel', select 'Justify Text' in the 'Text Justification' drop-down menu.
Converting all your books is potentially time-consuming, and you may not like the results. Another less-drastic option to consider is that Kobo devices have two readers: a standard ePub reader ala Adobe, and a "kePub" reader for Kobo Enhanced books. The kePub reader is is more heavy-handed in applying user settings (which is what you're after).
It is a matter of personal preference, but I find that it also generally provides better reading experience: faster page turns, better image handling, reading stats, etc.
One thing you may or may not like: it shows book title at the top of the page which makes it look more book-like, but also uses more screen space. The good news is that you can avoid that by using the hidden "Full Screen Reading" setting in
this topic. (see posts 2 and 4).
To use the kePub reader for all books, check out the
Kobo Touch Extended driver for Calibre, which converts your books to kePub files when you transfer them to your device.
