If by the 'calibre folder' you mean the folder where the calibre software is installed, which is normally in %SystemDrive%\Program Files (or Program Files (X86)), you should get a fresh one by installing latest version of calibre.

The export/import feature, exports (saves) the selected library folders (in their entirety) and the configuration folder (global preferences, plugins etc) in a form that they can be imported (restored) to different locations on the new machine. The process also takes care of any platform (Operating/File System) differences with respect to path lengths and file names etc - i.e. its the best way to move from one platform to another.

IMO: best practice would be to run the Library Maintenance->Check Library function and resolve any anomalies on the libraries before doing the export - no point in transferring 'dodgy' data.
