You're going at it backwards.
You don't take a visual approach until you're sure you can find the
airport visually.
You don't accept a visual until you can actually see the aiport. You
can be vectored for a visual because you don't yet see the airport but
reasonably expect you might if you can get closer.
It's very unusual, and not a good idea, to accept or request a visual
approach if you're not already sure you can make it.
No it's not. There's no reason to be sure you'll get the visual to
request to go have a look see at the MVA. If you see the airport then
you can have the visual, if you don't then you'll do another approach.
