Then, the ebook title usually has descriptive crap in it, and has mixed up case. Titles should always be Titlecase in my view. Would love a button to do that, but there isn't one.

Get the Quality Check plugin for the first, use Edit Metadata in Bulk for the second (there is a 'Change title case to' dropdown & checkbox).
Removing junk like series info from titles can be done with Edit Metadata in Bulk again, with Search and Replace. Takes a bit of regex magic and like with any powerful tool, you may hurt yourself with it, but creating a number of standard regexes make these things pretty easy; most of that stuff has pretty regex-able formats.
If the books you import are in Calibre library format (as in: there is a 'metadata.opf' & 'cover.jpg' with them in the same subdir) Calibre will read the metadata from the OPF file on import; not sure about the cover.
