How do they decide who gets to swim in which lane during a swim-off? Clearly if the one breathes to the right and is on the left hand side of the other, then that swimmer will be at an advantage.

Probably just seeded randomly by the meet management software.
Doesn't it seem like it would make sense for a swim-off to qualify for finals if you just add the times for prelims + semis together, then whoever has the fastest add-up qualifies ?
I think the swimmers also have the option to flip a coin if neither swimmer wants to swim extra.
