What is the Viewport Engine good for? Preview only? Can I refine the settings in it allow for a better render?
Comments
The Viewport Render Option is what was formerly called OpenGL. I do not believe that it has any settings that you can change. There is a multipass Open GL rener option that has some parameters that can be changed, but really it doesn't look a whole lot better.
So it's basically a redundant feature?
No. It's for if you'd like to make an OpenGL render at a size other than your current viewport, or at any size without all the on screen gizmos and whatnot. I personally find it to be incredibly usefull. Try it. It takes about half a second even for a huge size.
you can also render in wireframe with it or if you choose, those grey bounding blocks

It's also very useful for Filament renders.
WendyLuvsCatz and ShelLuser both make good points that I had not thought of.
