If there is a space before the words "The", "And", "Of", and "To" I don't want them to be title cased

Yes, and the advanced title-casing logic in my Q&S add-on/plug-in does that (and much more) based on English grammar rules, since Q&S is designed specifically for English (only). However, JS does only a simple title-casing like standard Calibre does since the English grammar rules often break non-English titles, which is unacceptable.
What I will do is copy the Q&S logic to JS, and then add an option to use either it or the standard (simple) title-casing.

Books with "&" in the title or series have been getting the symbol deleted.

Remember that the #orig_title column has each book's original title before changing. It exists so you can easily see before then after fixing. I put the #orig_authors and #orig_title columns next to the real columns. When I move the fixed and clean books from my WorkBench Library to my pristine Library, those custom columns are excluded automatically by another JS tool's customization option to do so.
I will add an #orig_series column capability too. I have never needed it.
The "&" symbol in a matching pattern is likely deleted by one of the regular expressions defined in JS Customization. I used over 500 test books with trashed-out metadata of all types to build those rules, plus hundreds of "clean" books to refine the rules. Nevertheless, sometimes a book gets "overcleaned", which is why I have the #orig_authors and #orig_title automatically populated if you define them per JS Customization so that they can easily be copied over the "overcleaned" values.
