1. Actually, I think that the ground surface and the bottom of the image should be parallel. I always adjust the window so that one of the wheels is touching the bottom of the screen, and then rotate until both are.

2. Yes, I think that the relationship between the camera and the car is actually more important than how level the ground is, within reason.

I'll take the truck to school today and look really strange with my level, checking the ground slope. Maybe I'll do it in the Environmental Studies parking lot, at least there I have a decent excuse.
