Restricting the sync to the "/clientsync" directory is a default behavior we are going to change soon. There were many reasons for this in the past, but it's probably not apt anymore. However, you can chance this by removing the current folder sync in the status dialog, and then immediately re-adding it, but without specifying a directory on the sever.

Unless you built ownCloud Client yourself with special options, I serously doubt that. You probably had played around with the folder configuration when you installed it first.

Cheers,
