both wheels will spin rotate in the same direction. But depending on your center diff it may take of bit of effort to turn the rears at all with only the rear jacked up.

does not matter that the viscous lsd is not hot. If there is no resistance on the other wheel it will still pull it forwards. And there is no way it would ever make it go the opposite way.

also i find with my viscous its pretty damm tight when warm.. as in skipping wheels parking after a thrash. But im not sure if you would get it that warm offroad. Probably would on sand but maybe not on rocky hills.
