You will probably be able to do what you want, but, it might take a couple of passes, and the function to do it isn't all in the same place.

The add template is about how to split the file name up to populate the title, author and so on. It doesn't have any options to change the the select parts. There is function to do this for the author on the "Adding actions" tab of the "Adding books" preference page. There you can set rules for what to do with tags or the author. That includes changing the case.

For the title, you can do this after the import with the bulk metadata editor. Select the new books, open the metadata editor and the title change options are near the bottom of the first tab. You can also do this with the search-and-replace.

Also, when adding books, the metadata can come from the filename or the internal metadata. If the metadata has already been set, the latter is the better option.

Some of the problems can be found in the library using the Quality Check plugin as @theducks suggests. The plugin can fix some of the problems.

Some of this is manual. There is the Action Chains plugin to do things, but, I haven't needed to look at it, so I don't know if it can help with what you want.
