New to Kobo - a few questions

I gave up on my Sony reader because it's apparently no longer possible to download books directly from the library onto my PRS-T3. I have now acquired a Kobo Clara and have a few questions. I hope you nice people in the Kobo forum can help me out.

1. Overdrive - I've synced the Clara and acquired the library books that were currently on loan. Am I correct that the Clara's Overdrive function does not have access to my library wishlist, holds list, and loans list, and that I should continue using my phone or PC for those purposes, then sync the Kobo reader to acquire the books once they have been loaned?

2. Navigation within a book - Am I correct that in the book/page navigation at the bottom of the screen, there is no place to enter a page number? This is something I used occasionally on my Sony and can't see a place to enter a number on the Kobo. Not a dealbreaker type of issue, just wondering if I missed something.

3. Transferring my books from my PC - I'm used to using the Sony Reader for PC desktop software and obviously i can't keep doing that. I have approximately 200 owned (non-library) epubs. About half were originally acquired through Sony/Kobo and those already loaded onto the Clara automatically when I synced it. The other half are from other sources such as Google Play or Gutenberg.

A.) Should I use Adobe Digital Editions or drag-and-drop via Windows Explorer?

B.) I don't have any obvious way to know which books on my computer came from which store. If I select all of them to copy, will the computer warn me of duplicates when it comes across the Kobo/Sony books that were already synced onto the Kobo?
