1) I noticed two swap partitions. Was that me being absent-minded when I

Any ideas?
I'm not sure about the EFI partitions, but using the `swapon` and
associated tools (swapoff, swaplabel), you can check which swap area is
being used, enable / disable them (multiple swap areas are allowed, it
appears), etc.
Interestingly, the man page says:

But I'm not having success with that (using /dev/sda5).

Disabling swap (`swapoff -a`) then `swaplabel -L myswap /dev/sda5` does
not complain, but also doesn't seem to work.
I'm not sure I actually have any understanding of this. At all.
Hopefully someone can chime in with answers / suggestions to our issues.
