New Kobo KA1 - few questions

Hello all. I have a new Kobo Aura One - just purchased from Walmart. Still have a week to return, but love it so far.
Using latest firmware and latest Calibre. Have the Kobo touch extended plugin that automatically converts to kepub and places books in collections. The kobo touch plugin disabled. Also have both the kepub metadata reader/writer plugins as well.

1 - is there a way to view information from Calibre standard columns - tags in my case - on the Kobo? In the Kobo library I can see title, author, series, and to the right - read/unread and file size. I want to be able to see tag info that I have added in Calibre and publication date would be nice as well.
I have tried adding {tags} to a metadata plugin, to the send books to device section, and to the kobo touch extended plugin (not all at once) without any luck. I am not really literate when it comes to such programming.

2 - I do not see a way to change the appearance of the library view, My Books or in a collection, to see more books on a page for instance.

3 - when deleting books from the reader (all side loaded from Calibre), I touch/hold the book, select remove, then remove. But the files still stay on the kobo when checked as a drive on the computer. Is the only way to remove them to do so directly from the computer with the kobo as a drive?

4 - the only other thing is that while reading on the 4th day I had the kobo the battery suddenly said it was at 1% - had been at 92% a few minutes before. I charged - and was at 100% within 20 min. So was probably software - I restarted and will see what happens.

Thanks so much.
