Holy Crap - never seen that before!
I think I would do a filter-only change after 500 miles just to make sure there are no bits of filter in the system!

That filter is in bad shape. That's not bad advice and if the filter is loaded with crap, drop the oil again.

That filter looks like it was in for a looooooong time. Probably plugged and passing minimal oil through it. I imagine the oil bypass in the filter got used more than not. I'd recommend getting a new filter housing and replace the one that's on there.
