Unfortunately I'm guessing many Kobo users who are obsessive enough (holds hand up
) to want to standardise their epubs to a preferred fixed internal structure are going to have put the OPF file in the root directory. Those who have been less nit-picky may have better luck because having a top-level directory of OEBPS/ seems fairly common in retail epubs (which is why I used this particular value).

Yes, I guess if you're only ever going to read the epub/kepub on a Kobo eink device the back-links aren't really necessary because the 'Previous location' button is easier to hit. But if you want your footnotes to also pop-up in the calibre Viewer I think the back-links are necessary. It's also advisable to keep them if you may want to read the same epub in a variety of Android apps. Many (most???) Android apps don't have pop-up footnotes but some of them don't have a 'Previous location' option either.
Re: the <a><sup> sequence, I could have sworn that when I was doing my testing one of my kepubs didn't pop-up and switching the order around fixed it. But as your test epub shows the order doesn't seem to matter, so I'll edit the first post accordingly.
