I believe you can use
save to disk to back up your files. I think when these are added back into Calibre they retain all previous metadata.
Save to disk from one machine, clean up the duplicates, then import/add those to Calibre on a second computer or to a different library location on the same machine.

You are correct you would lose your previously edited metadata.
No you can not just copy over the new metadata.db with the old. I believe the metadata.db file contains within it your entire structure indexed including metadata so you could not do the latter.
