In the kingdom of the blind, the one eye is king...
When I was serving (a while back) the best set up we had, was a NV scope mounted on our primary weapon... Worked great for all of us, with the point man using it to navigate through terrain.
I'll say: mount it on your rifle if you can.
Non-dominant.
I'll disagree with with mounting it on your rifle unless you're in a fixed defensive position (and even then it wouldn't be my *a* option). The NOD is for looking. You don't want to flag everything you're trying to look at.

3- everybody not wearing a uniform was considered hostile, so yeah, we didn't care much who we were pointing at.
