How does all that work out when going to upload to LOTW? Does it automatically convert TX band to 2m, 70cm, and so on or does that also need to be done manually?

No, it's a separate field and not required for LoTW. You have to enter the band/frequency fields separately.
The mode field is completely unnecessary, but is part of the ADIF spec. I like to set it so I can run stats easily on Mode B vs. Mode J, but it's still somewhat redundant.

Which is why, with software, especially software being actively developed, you shouldn't have to worry about it at all. Just set the T/R Frequencies and the designator or mode can easily be derived, in LOTW or any other logger.
