Sounds like the brakes were set up for a rider in England. They have the front brake on the right. The brakes are usually very easy to switch, but usually require new brake cables. You can often reuse the brake housing, depending on where the openings are.
Not sure what you mean by the reach comment, but don't be afraid of swapping out the seat post if it is sticking out too far. With a tandem, there is a lot more force on the seat post. Both your weight and the push/pull and weight of the stokers upper body.
Have a great time!
