On the disc brakes I've seen (not very many), the calipers are self-adjusting. When replacing pads, the caliper must be compressed to accommodate the new, thicker pads. Other than that, I haven't heard of a brake caliper adjustment.
Ans 2 - There is no adjustment necessary in Chev/GM front brakes. If they don't work as well as expected. the caliper slides may be very rusty. Scrub the slides with a wire brush then lube with a touch of dry graphite.
