Yes, if i recall correctly. Increase the resistance to increase output. At least that's what i got in my LM317T experiments.

It'm not sure what you mean. If you are referring to connecting a second pot, in series ? If so, yes. You can add the second pot in series to maintain a minimum (variable) voltage, by connecting it though wires with the first pot. Not in parallel.

You dont need the ground, but you can connect it if you want to . And if you use a metal casing, attached to the computer case, then it will be automaticaly grounded. The PSU grounds the case.
