Unfortuantely no. Someone will have to write it.

I don't see this option in my calibre install. Maybe it is part of a plugin I don't have. I think @ownedbycats can offer better help when it comes to covers and devices.

Yes you can. Use the condition dialog with the following parameters:

template = program: connected_device_name('main')
datatype = text
comparison = "="
condition value = your device name
