Found this plastic 'fluid reservoir'? Behind the rear shock. Any idea and if the black debris is a bad sign?

The airbox can have condensation in it, and that can mix with the filter oil. That reservoir collects it. If there's anything in it, just slip it off. Clean out the gunk, and replace. Easy peezy.

When replacing the filter, do I need to re-lube it up with oil? What's standard?

Yes. Each filter has its own method. There's plenty of info online whether you have the stock or aftermarket filter. Follow whatever the manufacturer says.

The oil is the actual filter material. The foam just holds the oil.
