1. Yes the can is the negative and it was isolated from the Chassis, hence the paper collar.
2. You leave NOTHING inside. God knows what chemical the mesh still keeps in itself and what it will do to the new caps. Gut fully, clean, stuff with the new part and do not waste your time trying to make the can the negative pole again, just make two wires, black and red, come out and use them. In which case you no l'onger need the paper aropund the can except if you want to keep it looking original.
For the future, any electrolytic can you restuff - you ONLY keep the can and discard everything else.
