I seem to remember that calibre defaults to 1.00 when you enter a series name manually. If you are adding a book that is not the first in series, how else is calibre going to know what number in the series a book is? Even metadata download doesn't help since more often than not, the series information is missing or incorrect.

As for file naming? The filenames in calibre's library are not to be touched unless you enjoy unscrambling eggs. You can set up a save to disk or save to device template to rename the exported books as you want. A quick search should give you some help with those functions.
