I tried backfeeding the cable to check the routing and it appears to feed in at a downward angan rather than the usual straight.

Time for a bit LBS support methinks

I think we are talking about the barrel adjuster which consists of 3 parts, spring, threaded piece and adjustment piece.

I will guess the 'swivel thing' is the barrel with a hole in which sits transverse in the STI in which the head of the cable sits. They can come out but equally they can be replaced.
