*3. Is there a way to hide selected polygons? I searched around and I found basically nothing regarding this*
Select some polygons on your mesh Go to the 'Show' menu on the viewport Isolate Select Check 'View Selected' All your *unselected *polys will vanish and you'll be left with just your selection to work with http://grab.by/yqyw Awkward and bizarre but it works for most of the normal hide poly uses you might need.
