You are trying to match id (which is sequential db integer) to a completely different field called uuid (which is 128-bit unique identifier represented as hexadecimal digits).
uuid would look like this
Code:
03c78cc3-bdf6-471b-b263-e28ee126965a
When exporting data from calibre make sure to choose the uuid rather than the id field to be able to match them later. uuid was chosen because it is unique for each book record and does not clash with books from other libraries. ids on the other hand, can match to wrong books if imported into another library by mistake, which could end up overwriting your metadata with wrong info.
As for the other points, you should wait until kiwidude sees the post and respond.
