As mentioned, deleting will just prompt a new on. Just change the affiliate and never touch it again. You should be fine.

4. What are the best Kobo plugins that I should use with Calibre
There's not so much a best one as there is the ones you like.

I use DeDRM of course.

I also use KoboTouchExtended. I let it create collections based on tags, upload black and white covers, update the metadata on the device and convert ePub books to kepub when they are sent from Calibre to the Kobo.

Kobo Source is nice. It adds Kobo as a source when Calibre searches for metadata and covers. That is not specifically for Kob, it can benefit any user.

There's also Kobo Utilities which saves reading location from Kobo to Calibre.

Lastly, I'd recommend JSWolf's Better Hyphenation Dictionary. I don't like Kobo's default hyphenation much.

5. What are the best hacks for Kobo. I know that I am gonna use One-Click Install Packages. I also know of Kobopatches but I don't know what to do with them.
Again, it's not about what's best. It's what you might use. For instance, I (and most other patchers) turn on advanced features for side-loaded fonts. It's nice to have. But to be honest, I never use those advanced features. So really I just do it because I can.

I'd recommend spending time reading on your Kobo and figure out what changes you would like. Smaller header and footer? Larger cover images?

At any rate, here's a link for instructions on patching firmware.
