Is the file format related to your device type? (I've got a Paperwhite 11th gen, so AZW3 is my format correct?)

When I import the AZW3 to Calibre and convert to an EPUB, have I effectively removed the DRM? I was able to do this before adding the DeDRM plugin.

The Readme for DeDRM says to add your Kindle serial in the customisation dialog. Is this necessary?

I'm assuming if it works on the non-Kindle device I'm trying to send it to the DRM has been removed. Does DRM ever contain any identifying info (like serial numbers e.g.)? How can I check if this has all been removed?

Sincere thanks for you guidance.
You do not need the KFX Input plugin if you have no KFX format eBooks. But you will need the KFX Input plugin because you have a PW5 and when you download eBooks they will come as KFX.

You need to get the Alpha release of DeDRM.

The Readme is correct.

If you had not removed the DRM of your KF8 eBooks, you would not have been able to convert to ePub.
