Also, is there anything like a dungeon index with adventure locations/levels of all the adventure?
( I remember seeing this, but it would so help at least having the issue number to ease my search)
The last print issue of Dungeon - # 150, Sept. 2007 - has an index which does part of what you're looking for. Sub-divided into game editions and campaign settings (although with an error or two), it also gives the expected level of the party.
As for the actual terrain type covered by an adventure, I'm not sure where you'd find that.
For two different swamp adventures that are more story-based, try:
Old Man Katan and the Mushroom Band, Dungeon #41.
Song of the Fens, Dungeon #40.
Respectively, these are 1e, 2e, and 2e, so you’ll need to adapt them to make any work for your PCs, but they're all low-level so should be that much trouble.
There's an online index at Dungeon on line index. The index does include adventures not in Dungeon as well. Not everything is properly keyworded, for example the Swamp Stomp adventure doesn't list Swamp as a type, just wilderness, even though others do list Swamp.
There's also a page here that has a list of dungeon adventures through #71.
I also remember a series of 5 adventures for 2nd edition in Dungeon in the Mere of Dead Men north of Waterdeep, which might work for you, the first of which is Slave Vats of the Yaun-ti - it's more a haunted house on the swamp, but there's swamp stuff spread throughout the series. It's in issue #69 and through the 70s
I also ran a swamp adventure from Dungeon, in the early 3rd edition days I think which was a lot of fun, but I can't remember the name. It had the halfling mayor of a small town hire the PCs to root out a menacing tribe of lizardfolk, but everytying was not as it seemed....
The following all hit a search for "Swamp" or "Jungle" settings, and seemed appropriate to the level and circumstances.
Entries are in the form:
Issue - Title - Total Advised Party Levels - Overview.
A few are above the 20 levels advised for EaBK but most are in the neighborhood. A few are much lower level, but good enough adventures or appropriate enough to the circumstances they could be worth the trouble to beef-up.

148 – Webbird – N/A - Update of the classic monster
"You help yess?"
Help a Troll fight Gargantuan Mosquitos in his swamp...Avery the Paladin nodded grimly.
"Yes." It would prevent some disaster where the Trolls were forced to flee through human areas.
DM Briefing: The PCs are sought to fight gargantuan Mozzies in a swamp. Perhaps one per PC level.
Further afield, Green Ronin published Beyond the Towers, by W. Jason Beck. The party is hired as an expeditionary force into a jungle to find a lost city. Wackiness ensues. And it's on sale.
I want to interject it in AOW AP, for when the PCs go into Mistmarsh toward blackwall keep.
Also, is there anything like a dungeon index with adventure locations/levels of all the adventure?
