How to correctly use IMAP

I'm using Thunderbird since 2007. Until now I always used POP3 for all my accounts, deleting some of the emails from the server after moving them to my local folders.
Now I switched to IMAP. No problem to configure it but I'm not sure how to use it correctly. The reason is because now I have to access emails from multiple devices.
In the account folders I see the emails synced from the IMAP server. Most of them are duplicated (because in the past I've already copied them in my local folders).
First question: should I create again the folders on the server and change the filters, correct? Otherwise, using the local folders will lead to waste of space because they will be duplicated
Second question: is there a way for a 2-way sync with the IMAP server? It would be nice to copy back the emails deleted from the server that are now in my TB local folders only. I'm aware I can simply drag-n-drop the emails back to the IMAP folders, but I have to manually check if they are already present or not.
Thanks in advance!
