Yes. A right handed saw is for a right handed person. If you can see the
blade when you are sawing, you are likely to get a lot of saw dust in your
face.
Although a big fan of Milwaukee tools, I prefer the Skilsaw Mag 77. I've
used both many times and the Skil (or the Bosch equivalent) is hands down a
better saw for general construction projects.
It's seems that the East coast framers use sidewinders and the West coast
guys prefer the wormdrive. I don't know why by I'll stick with the worm.

One has the blade on the right, the other has the blade on the left. I
forget which is which. Personally, I would avoid any saw that doesn't have
an electric brake.

Personal preference.

Yes. You can also check Milwaukee's web page.

But for woodworking, I'm not sure a wormdrive saw is the best choice. The
slower blade speed seems to produce a rougher edge. At least that's been my
experience.
