Does it come with left hand for the front brake and right for the rear brake out of the box? Im used to the reversed set up (AFAIR biking when i was a kid). Can i just simply swap the cables on the brake levers or do i need to re route the whole setup?
The handlebar feels a bit too short for my riding position (didn't notice that on the test drive) im 5'11 btw, is there anyway to raise the bar to fit my reach?
Also it doesnt come with castor wheels, unlike brompton. Any recommendations for them?
Any help appreciated

Depends on the type of stem you have.
Early stems not adjustable.
3 versions. Sport= forward.
Standard =up right
Comfort= sweeps back.
All later versions are adjustable height.
Caster wheels.
Racks can be fitted with them. Else fit brompton mudguards or Birdie caster system from bike gang £75 approx.
