As theducks said, CC requires that a book be in its library in order to store its metadata. However, it doesn't need to be the actual book. Some CC users do what you are asking for by adding "empty" text formats to their calibre library and sending these to CC. The Wireless Device connection supports bulk downloading and bulk updating of metadata. You can add empty txt formats in calibre using the "Add empty file ..." command on the Add Books dropdown menu.

Also, I would like to view ALL book details by showing just the book covers in a grid view just like the bookshelf view of downloaded books before I connect my calibre library cloud. If this is possible, how can I do this?

I don't understand the question. No cover grid view will show all book details. There isn't any way to have CC show a cover grid view in CC's Cloud Connection if that is what you are asking for.
