Agreed.

Yes, EPUB->MOBI works fine.

As long as the EPUB code works perfectly, you should be able to input the EPUB into KindleGen/Kindle Previewer, and get a working MOBI.
It should. As Doits pointed out (and thanks, Doits, so that I don't need to do that!) the popup footnote functionality is going to be flukey with 3 levels of "nested" footnotes.

You could just not specify alignment in your CSS.

You can leave it up to the device/user to choose which alignment they like to read.
Yes, and if you do set the alignment, e.g., "align left" you stand an excellent chance of getting whacked with a Kindle Quality Notice and ordered to "fix" it. Per the guidelines, you are not to set the alignment in your MOBI. (FWIW, I just slogged through an Earl Stanley Gardner Cool and Lam mystery with forced left-alignment, and OMG, it pissed me off to suffer through it. I absolutely reported it to the KDP, as the publisher is a big publisher and there's no excuse for it.)

I think thiago.eec hit the nail on the head.

You are saying there's 3 levels of footnotes, but I don't know if you're just numbering them 1-999 due to Word's limitations... or if your book would be better served with 3 distinct sets of footnotes!

Your book may be completely different, and it's hard to tell without seeing the DOCX firsthand.
This is why it would help to see the docx.
