2014 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis LE Auto Fuji White

Your car will quickly learn where the TPMS valves have moved to, I have experienced no warnings or problems when swapping wheels around. Your tyres should work in either direction.

Locations of jacking points are in your handbook. On the side sills you will see “V” marks within 6” or so of each wheel arch. They indicate the locations of the jacking points just inboard of the sill. NB: If you have LR style side steps you will need to remove them first before jacking.

Car has factory fitted side-steps.

Is it not possible to jack it with a trolley jack without removing them?

If you look at the document link I posted above, you will see that there are centre jacking points for trolley jacks (labelled 3 in the diagrams). You can use those without affecting the side steps. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

2010 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Stornoway Grey

Regarding side steps removal for jacking. They are retained by 3 bolts each side, same size as the wheel bolts (21mm). A doddle to remove if you are caught out with a puncture.
