The original fonts are not embedded. If you don't have the specified font installed (E B Garamond) then your device will pick a default or replacement font to display.

why are invalid font files be written?

That's a question for Kovid, but AZW to epub doesn't seem like a common-use scenario for Calibre. Where'd you get the AZW file?

Why does the CSS name a font not present in the file?

It's a common mistake in ebook design. People want to style their books with unique fonts, but you have to own the copyright to embed the font. So at some point - probably when it was converted to AZW by Amazon - the embedded fonts got stripped out.

In terms of what to do, I would use Calibre to edit the epub, delete all the .ttf files, and just do a find and replace-all to change or delete the font-face in the stylesheet.
