If the engine is stock, you should follow the recommendation of the manufacturer. If the engine has been rebuilt or modified, consult the engine builder or use viscosity to maintain your desired oil pressure. I like to have 40 lbs.+ when cruising at highway speeds. I've run small block Chevys for many many years, and I've always used 10/30 oil,and never had trouble. later model 350's may say to run 5/30, that seems to be the trend. I go with what worked for me. (keep in mind I change oil and filter every 2000 miles, as we were taught in old school.)

The 1979 Chevrolet 350 cubic inch engine oil pressure should be in the 40 to 45 PSI range. The more miles an engine has the lower the oil pressure will be.
If you are changing the oil and the filter then you will need 5 quarts.
Yes, it will work. If the 454 was a tall deck design, you'd need to shim the distributor up .400" to mate with the 350 oil pump shaft.
