"Jupiter and its moons are a billion miles from the sun — "

That IS the case NOW... But the most normal situation in the Milky Way is for gas giant planets to be up close to the stars they orbit, hence the term "hot Jupiters" that you read. That WAS the situation with Jupiter a few tens of thousands of years ago. You might wanto to watch that 20-minute intro.

The event in which our present sun captured that ancient Southern/Saturnian system caused everything in our system to pile up in a sort of a heap temporarily, and then everything spread out to eventually become what you see now.

That itself is an idea that has no basis in fact, nor any evidence to support it. The planets formed where they currently are billions of years ago. The sun didn’t “capture” anything.
