I never found that problematic - for me anyway. I just looked at Pettijean's vise and I believe it is the same as Jay's in that regard.

This is my vise of his. Note the adjustment screw on tier's side........vise in the foreground. However, now we have the opening and closing...
Yes, but if you have two hands at the front, might they get in each other's way? Don't know, just trying to figure out the purpose.
If you are holding the hook up to the jaws in your right hand to determine when you have them set right, your left hand behind the vise does avoid visual obstruction.
