Correct on both counts.

Sure, but why? It's so easy to do something very similar in PhotoShop.

Well, I was going more deeply than that. The Live View lets you fine-tune the white balance fairly quickly.
If you run through the range of "conventional" color-temperature settings under fluorescent light, * you'll see that it's rare for any of them to closely approach neutrality. Some degree of green/magenta adjustment is needed, and it's quickly set in Live View. (It is on my Canon, anyway.)
The issue that neither of us has discussed is whether what we see in Live View is trustworthy with respect to accurate white balance. You need to display the images on a calibrated monitor and see whether what /looks/ properly white on the camera's LCD actually is.
For which the WhiBal card is a good choice. Take a photo with it under the same lighting, then "eyedropper" a sample of the card into the image you want to correct.
Google "whibal". The site has a lot of useful information.
But some people prefer silver-based photography. It took me quite a while to "come over" to digital -- at least for anything "serious". And I still like Polaroid photography, particularly the peel-apart materials.
Obviously that's a matter of personal taste. Neither is right or wrong.
