have you tried spraying your old switch with contact cleaner, aka TV tuner clear, available from Radio Shack? get a brand that says it is safe for plastics, spray it into the switch, and work the switch back and forth. that almost always clears up mild scratchiness in a switch.
and it's much easier than ordering a replacement.
if you really do need a new one, you'll have to order it through an Ibanez dealer, or maybe ibanezrules.com has them. ordering through Ibanez takes months, and ibanezrules.com can be expensive.

yes, flip the Blaze around that way, and also have the AN7 with the screw poles closest to the neck.
for the wiring, we're talking about the colored ground wire, not the bare ground wire--the bare wire always goes to ground. yes, start by swapping the hot and ground.
but like i said above, this may only be a first step. if things don't sound right, you may also need to do it on the neck pickup--swap the hot and the ground, then also swap the two other neck pickup colored wires with each other. you may also need to do another change to fix phase issues (if all positions sound fine except inner coils position 4, post back here). with no diagram for this exact configuration, there will be some trial and error to get it all exactly right. but it's worth it!
as for black=ground and red=hot, i don't know--check the diagram you posted above. the colored ground is the one soldered to the volume pot; the hot wire goes to the switch. it looks like green is ground for the bridge pickup.
