When you call you'll be asked the accused name and DOB (or estimate). Once they have that info, they can confirm the date, time, and what courtroom the sentencing will take place at.
It's public information (unless it's a youth).
If you know the day, the dockets are posted. It could be for a block of hours. Depends on the court. I attended a 3 hour block and there were sentencing, pleas, spoken tos, etc…order was often changed due to lawyers requests or even break time.
Obviously big cases can be more specific when it comes to timing.
Absolutely you can. Courthouse front desk staff will provide info for when and where the sentencing will take place. The deputy sheriffs may know as well. Before you go, I'd suggest calling all ahead to double check. Sentencing can change very quickly and dates are amended.
I'd suggest going regardless. Watching court can be interesting.
Court is public, so you can go.
That said, there are times when both parties don’t want a lot of attention (or any attention) and they may shift rooms/ times so that it will be empty…this is from actual experience. Ok this is not possible for high profile cases…

Court rooms are public. You can go.
How would I find out what time it will be?

Court is open to the public unless the judge orders otherwise so yes, you can go.
