That's a lot of text and I'm tired so I will probably miss a lot of your questions. But basically yes.
Libreelec isn't a great platform for hosting the server, its better as a client platform. When they call it a "just enough" OS they aren't kidding, it is missing a lot of things that you'd want for managing a server. I know libreelec used to have docker installable through an add-on, but I'm not sure if they still do.
You can host both the client and server on the same device, though as described above there isn't a great OS for both use cases since they are so different.
Jellyfin will use the NFO files and (if named correctly) the cover images.
