The highest frequencies are filtered out before the analog signal is digitized, by an anti-aliasing filter.
This filter is very very steep as it has to filter so the output passes DC-20KHZ and reduce 24KHZ+ to a
negligible amount.
Stereo vinyl does have 2 discrete channels, one on the inside groove wall and one on the outside groove wall.
There is also considerable crosstalk between channels as you pointed out.
You are only making the sound quality worse. A copy won't be as good as the original
The "dynamic range limitations" of vinyl won't be corrected by the process you have described.
If you want to make good digital copies of your vinyl, try a lossless compression such as FLAC or,
if need to use lossy compression, Ogg Vorbis. MP3 should only be used if you have to.

You should only use Clear Type if you have your flat panel display at it's native resolution.
