Turn the VCV clockwise until you feel it "stop" and tighten the bolts that hold it in place.

This adjustment is done with the engine off, correct? The pedal/linkage to VCV relationship is physical?

Pardon the complete ignorance here..

Is there a way for me to vacuum test the VCV by myself to determine if it's bad? With a mighty vac or other gauges? And what is the process of removing and replacing it?

If my VCV is broken, i'm weary of just plain hooking it back up and running/driving the vehicle. There has to be a reason it's disconnected and i don't know consequences there might be to driving with a faulty VCV.

When i dig around for info on the VCV, it's all pretty much just about adjusting it, assuming it's a working VCV.
