Yeah, you can just turn the polarizer until you like what it looks like. It's supossed to be 90 degrees in comparison to the sun but then you have to deal with searching for the sun (and accidentaly looking at it) so i just play it by eye normally. Or point it at a cloud and turn it until there's the best contrast between the white in the cloud and the blue in the sky.
And with the viewfinder/live view question, no, there's no difference between those other than personal preference. I like the viewfinder the most because there's less reflections (to you, not the photo) but the live view shows exactly what the photo will look like, the viewfinder only shows 95% of the frame.
