I haven't been using storage groups for videos yet, and am wondering how to make the transition without losing all the metadata I've put together over the years.

When you upgrade to 0.23, all your existing content will be hashed. If
you then move that content over to a directory defined in the 'Videos'
storage group, MythVideo will be able to recognize that it is the same
file in a new location, and update the location stored in the database
to match.

Yes. You are running an old schema (pre-0.22), and will be updated the
first time you run the MythVideo plugin. Title, subtitle, season, and
episode are only parsed for newly scanned videos. Old videos from prior
to 0.22 will only have the title set. It's generally suggested to start
fresh, or at least remove all existing TV shows when upgrading, so you
can reprocess the title and pull newer (better) metadata.
