Yes, it will fallback to the filename.

There are open-source / free PDF metadata editors available on the internet.

You won't be able to convert them, but you'll still be able to open and view them. I think (I've not tested this yet) you can even still add additional notes to them, since writing on top of PDFs is still supported.

Yes, you can still write on top of PDFs, but only in fixed page mode (not when reflowing them).
