Simplest way I have found is to measure the size of the window and then "Cover the map with a set number of cells" using the distance. F'Rinstance if the map is 100 miles wide and I want a 5 mile grid I would enter 20 for the number of cell in the X direction. Not exact, but close enough for my purpose.
Not sure if this answers your second question, but you can clip the grid by the polygons. If the grid size is small relative to the area of the polygon, the edges will be fairly clean.
