You don't have to manually place the images in the _files/ directory. When
you select them in Tellico, no matter where they are, when you save the
collection, the image is also saved in that folder by Tellico.  When
Tellico saves the image, it gives it a unique image name (different than
whatever it was originally) which is why you have multiple copies, with
different names. If you don't want Tellico to save the image itself, you
can have it save a link only.

In the Entry View, you can click the image and it should open up in
whatever image viewer you have configured. That might be the easiest way to
see the full image file path.
