The information needed for series information, etc. are stored in the database. When you send the ebook to the device, there is no database entry. After you send the ebook and eject the ereader, the new ebooks are imported, there is now a database entry and a place to store the information. This is why you need the two connections. The second connection can update the metadata -- you can set this to happen automatically or leave it as a manual trigger. Most of the time I use automatic. See attached image.

As for collections, you might want to check the Kobo Shelves and Collections Wiki entry.

Personally, the only collection I use is a Finished collection to keep track of books finished on multiple devices. Search handles the rest of my needs.
