I am still confused.
You say that the TV is connected to the PC running calibre via HDMI. This is exactly the configuration I have. When looking at the TV I have the PC's (wireless) mouse and keyboard available. I also have an on-screen keyboard available for when I don't feel like using the physical keyboard. You should have the same.
It seems that you can get all you want by starting calibre on the PC and showing it on the TV. Do that and you are looking at your library on the TV. No need to involve the content server or CC at all.
I see only a few choices to use CC including the ones you named: casting, connecting by cable, running an android emulator, or replicating the screen. Assuming that I really want to see CC on the TV, I would choose cast if the device supports it because the hardware is cheap enough to make wasting my time not worth it. If my device has an HDMI out (most samsungs do I hear) then connecting by cable is an option. Using an emulator would be a last resort. I know it works, but the emulators are quite "heavy".
CC has no "remote control" features, and TBH I have no interest in adding them.
