When disk blocks are written, they are written to both drives. Nothing is copied in ordinary operation.
When a new disk is inserted, everything on the remaining disk is copied to to the new one. This is below the file system level, so the disk blocks are copied even if they are not used.

Can I swap 542AS2 with DM0012 and have the newest files kept, the files that I deleted from the 5422AS1 deleted from the DM0012 and have newly free 500GB of space on the DM001s?
No.
I suggest copying the files on the 542AS to a USB disk immediately - before they fail.
Then try to recover the files from the DM001s. R-Linux might do the trick - http://www.r-tt.com/free_linux_recovery/Download.shtml
