1. Does anyone know if there is a setting to see, through the viewfinder, how my settings will affect result?

Yes, Constant Preview - in the Custom menu with the spanner. It only works in M mode unfortunately.

Like if I change my aperture or shutter speed, it can show me how it would look before I take it?

Yes, it closes the aperture so you see the real DOF before you take the image.

I heard electronic viewfinders can do that,

Not at all related to the displays..

but when I change the settings, it remains the same (I can only see the result after taking the photo).

Check you are in M mode.

2. Also, does anyone know how I can see the light meter on the screen?

Exposure is shown at the bottom edge of both displays.
