One side of the capacitor is connected to the positive side of the circuit and the other side is connected to the negative. On the side of the capacitor you can see a stripe and symbol to indicate which side in the negative, additionally the negative leg will be shorter. This allows us to interrupt the power supply and the capacitor will

Whenever that power hungry IR sensor turns on, it causes some other parts of my circuit to behave oddly for a split second. I figured adding a large capacitor to the 3.3 V rail would help eliminate that, which it did. But I also noticed that I could instead add a significantly smaller capacitor on the 5 V side, and that also solved the problem.

The capacitors simply help maintain a steady voltage, you probably heard people say the capacitor is “filtering” and thats where you got the idea but when they say that they''re not talking about filtering like the diodes are where they filter (rectify the signal) the negative cycle of a AC signal, the capacitors help to filter the voltage and make that more steady.

If the existing power supply has a hold-up time of 20ms, increasing it to 200ms would require adding the equivalent of nine more C1 capacitors. C1 typically occupies 5 to 6% of the internal space of a power supply, and so would increase the size of the power supply by around 50%, assuming the product height remains the same.

Yes "decoupling" and "bypass" capacitors are the same thing. Ideally the power supply to a chip would have a zero impedance at all frequencies. If the power supply has a finite impedance it will act as an unwanted coupling path. The higher the impedance the stronger this unwanted coupling path. The unwanted coupling path can have various effects.
