See attached. I prefer to use the clamp to augment the barb's increased diameter. That's where the barb is supposed to squeeze against the tube to keep the water out, so clamping there squeezes them together even tighter, so it works better.

Not usually but sometimes, all depends on the barb itself and which block you're screwing it into.

I always clamp my barbs immediately after the indentation to cause a sort of compression fitting effect.

It's okay for the O-ring to be visible in some circumstances. As long as it's placed the way it is on that picture, and your barbs are reasonably tight (don't overtighten, but use a wrench instead of just your fingers), it'll do its job. It should be squeezed between your block and your barb. Ideally, your water doesn't really get into your threads much, and the O-ring is just there as a guarantee that it won't leak.
