You generally only want to fiddle with display controls when they're performing
analog adjustments, as was commonly the case with CRT displays. Only a very few
very expensive digital displays have controls that do that sort of thing these
days, so you generally want to leave well enough alone. As might be
counter-intuitive, this sometimes extends beyond color balance controls into
contrast controls, and sometimes even brightness controls.
Graeme has an excellent guide to how best adjust your display in the Argyll
documentation for the dispcal tool:

I'll let somebody else address the rest of your questions.
Cheers,
