On your picture you see folders. These don't have covers. (supported) files within folders might have covers. KO doesn't have a library but a file manager.

The zoom in KOReader for these images seems more jerky, and less fine-grained.

Umh, not sure what's the question. You can long press the image to zoom it, rotate, etc. If the question is: how do I make it like nickel, which I like more? the answer is: you can't. There're two different programs.

There's no (lib)magic here. Books are delivered to render engines based on their extensions. Your file doesn't have an extension so no render engine is able to handle that. Rename your file to .kepub.epub as calibre is doing when sending kepubs to your device.

Probably not all. You're heavily in the kobo ecosystem. I would suggest to keep there as it seems it mostly fits your needs.
