Bubble level for Manfrotto 475B
Not quite sure what you are hoping to achieve here - the bubble is to help you level the tripod, and by its very nature when centred will indicate this. Once you have levelled the tripod, adjust the head (pan and tilt, or ball and socket) until the camera is also level. It is possible to purchase a three-way level that fits in the hot shoe.

Try removing the centre column, then clamp it securely in a vice (or vise, if you prefer), packed with wooden battens to prevent damage.
Ensure that all the locks on the head are secured tightly. Then rotate the head counter-clockwise, and it should unscrew from the thread at thye top of the centre column.
If it still won't shift, try spraying a little WD40 or other such lubricant at the place where the head attaches to the centre column, leave it to soak in, then try again.
If you still have no luck, hie thee to thy local repair facility and humbly beg assistance from the artificer.

How do I switch the Manfrotto RC322C2 from right to left hand use?
I've looked at the spec, and it does not appear to be changeable, unfortunately. Unless you are absolutely wedded to the idea of using that particular head, there are others in the range that can be used with either hand. Check out the selection here :

What fluid do i need in my 3066 tripod
they don't use fluid - maybe some grease in the tilt and pan of the head, but the tripod itself doesn't need any.. you might need an adjustment somewhere... I own 3 of these.
How adjust the vertical viewing
are you just mounting a camera to the tripod itself? - you need to purchase a head as well - the head screws onto the top of the tripod, and then the camera fixes to the head, usually with a qr plate.

What do I do to attach the camera after attaching it to the mount piece?
the quick release plate, that you are calling the "mount piece" will just snap onto the head of the tripod - if you aren't sure, a good way is to take off the QR plate from the camera, and then, with the screw threads face up, see how it fits into the head - many times, you have to engage the spring lever, so when you set the plate inside the head, it will snap locked into place. Then, re-mount it on your camera, and do the same thing, and there ya go.
Convertible center column
Depending upon which model you have it could be as simple as turning the center column upside down. Without more info about the tripod this is the best I've got.
