Recently updated to ver. 16.2.8.9097 of SDL Trados 2021 - auto-suggested language pair is wrong - FR-GER instead of Eng-Fr. I already did a repair of the software but still have the problem.

Question

Why? Have you checked the settings under "Language pairs"? You should see a list of languages there and be able to select one and add it there. NOTE: you can only ADD target languages. Changing the source language is impossible, you have to create a new project in case the source language is wrong.

Well, if my answers are dissatisfactory, so this is the result of the lack of basic information in your posts. Nothing happens without an interaction with the user. Studio does not put files in folder on its own, because it simply does not add or remove files. To do so an user action is required. 
 So please describe all the steps you've taken, post screenshots of your projects and tell me how do you create these. What do you mean with " source and target file put in the wrong sub-directory of the project, source language chosen automatically as French instead of English "? Where did that happen? Studio does not chose any languages on its own, this must be done by the user. If the user fails to pay attention when starting a project and takes the settings offered there, not the software is guilty, but the user. You can always change source and target languages, regardless the method you start your project in Studio. You can change the languages in single file approach and when using project template. You can also always chose the folders where the actions will be taken unless you are using Drag & Drop. But to be able to tell what happens I need to know how you work.

Your screenshot shows, that you are on the "French side" of the project, see the language on the left. As this is a FR-EN project, you MUST change the language to English before you can work on it. It is not possible to work on a file FR-EN, when you are looking at the source language. 
 As for the previous post, I fail to understand why the directory (folder) shown is the wrong one. The problem with the machine translation is a fully separate one, not related to the rest.
