if its auto its more than likely 355

look for the axle tag on the rear is the easiest way. you could mark the driveshaft, and rotate a wheel, 1 full turn of the wheel vs how many turns of the driveshaft will get you close, but the only real sure way besides the dif tags, is to remove the cover and check in the carrier.

Correct. Front and/or rear have an axle tag with the ratio on it. Rule of thumb is auto trans 3.55, manual trans 3.07.
