Answer 1

set "dirname=?:\wherever\your files\reside"
:again
set "tempname=%random%.txt"
if exist "%dirname%\%tempname%" (goto again) else ECHO ren "%dirname%\file1.txt" "%tempname%"
ECHO ren "%dirname%\file.txt" "file1.txt"
ECHO ren "%dirname%\%tempname%" "file.txt"

where you assign your directory name to dirname.

The code will simply echo the commands required. Remove the echo keyword after verification to actually perform the name-swap.
