Now when i go to edit metadata for a book, and I go to the field for #genre on the right there is a buton (123). When I click on that I see all existing genres/subgenres but they read as Action.War (2nd pic original post).
How can I change this view to a hierarchy one?

You can't, calibres implementation of hierarchical classification is notational - similar to recorded music ragging [sic].
I suspect you'd prefer a formal taxonomy/controlled vocabulary approach which would be maintained independently of the items (books) to which it was applied… that's not what most consumers want, its too bureaucratic.
