No. If you do not add the episode nfo files, then the episodes will not be scanned. The tvshow.nfo and episode nfo files work together unlike a single movie that requires only a single nfo file.

The ID can be any alpha-numeric string. IMDB ID all start off with
tt and TMDB are just whole numbers. Kodi uses an identifier to ensure there is no overlap anyway. In the example below, I have used
"lessons" as the identifier. In your example above, you could use (for example)
amzugp as the tvshow id and then
amzugp01 for episode/lesson 01.

The Video files are starting with 3 digits numbers ie:
1) "001 - .... Introduction.mp4"
2) "002 - .... name.mp4"
...
1022) "102 - .... Summary.mp4"
The path is ok. You would set
x:\Oreilly as your Source in Kodi and I assume you would have your other tvshows in Oreilly folder.
The lesson/episodes will need to be modified. Rename
001 - .... Introduction.mp4 to "
S01E01 - .... Introduction.mp4 or any numbering listed in the table...

As for your nfo file, I have removed some items as Kodi will just recreate them internally. If you are using local artwork none of the artwork links are required as long as you correctly name the
