Issue 1:
However, annotations and highlights do not seem to be synced to my other devices (Kindle on Android) for example.
The book itself appears in my "devices" on Amazon and on my Kindle for Android app though. The hightlights are not displayed!
When I make annotations on this Android device the annotations and highlights on my kindle disappear and are replaced by the annotations and highlights made on the android device. I can keep adding annotations and highlights on the Kindle, which will in turn be synced to the android device. So, from then on WhisperSync seems to work. But only with the newly added, not the originally file-based ones.
When I connect the Kindle to my PC again via USB the .SDR folders content is down to 1kB each for the azw3r and azw3f file. So, it's been replaced.

After you have copied and renamed the old .azw3r/f files, try selecting/fixing all the old highlights on the Kindle first before opening the book on other devices and see if that syncs the old highlights to the Kindle cloud.

Issue 2:
The highlights displayed on the kindle after using the old azw3f and -r files are off by about 82 characters. Though this seems to differ from book to book. I might be able to amend that using Kindle Previewer, I guess. But it's difficult to figure out the exact number of characters (even within ones book highlights), because it varies. Probably due to the fact that I just copied the effected texts over to MS Word to count characters and paragraphs, titles, etc might be counted differently...

As @jhowell mentioned, this is to be expected. We used kindlegen to try to minimize this discrepancy (Calibre conversion will likely be even more off). Unfortunately, we can't eliminate it entirely.
