For my first question, is it cool to give positive trust for transactions that I am not personally involved in? I don't want to come off as being a strictly negative Nancy.
In some cases, it's appropriate to leave positive trust without a transaction, just like there are cases in which a transaction doesn't justify positive trust.I actually did this recently, see my Sent feedback:

micgoossens has hosted several "Bitcoin price prediction games", and pays the prizes out of his own pocket.
As far as I've seen, he has paid all of them. Several more prediction games are still running, and I trust he'll pay those too.

I had been planning this feedback for a few months, since I first saw his games. This gave me time to reconsider (which I didn't), so after observing him pay the prize twice, I left positive feedback.As far as I've seen, he has paid all of them.

However: I think leaving positive trust to "balance" your "negative Nancy" is not the right reason. Considering the number of accounts on this forum, it's very easy to find more scammers than trusted users.
You've already left Reference links with your trusts, I can only encourage you to keep doing that. It's a bit more work, and gives your feedback more meaning.
Just a thought: I now use my alt account for transactions that don't justify DT-feedback.
