I have a Glo, but it should be the same in these matters.

All font options can be applied to sideloaded (epub) books, provided the book wasn't constructed in a way that prevents it. If you come across a book that prevents a font option taking effect (such as one that has fixed linespacing) then you will need to tweak the book's stylesheet before sideloading if you want it to be adjustable.

You can download books with the built-in browser, e.g. from a Calibre web server. Some of book's metadata (such as series information) will not be loaded if you do it this way though, connecting via the USB cable -- allowing Calibre to access the device's database directly -- will give you more options.
