Nivian's family lives in a village locate where today's Firgrove would roughly be. Back then, I imagine Firgrove didn't exist as it does today, and the pathway to Wildwoods was a lot more commonly used then. I want to think it connected like an "upper" and "lower" part of the village (not separated by wealth or anything), and Nivian's family lived in the lower part - the "Firgrove" part. While xer father isn't the official village head, but more so chosen by the people because of how trustworthy he is and all, they had one of the bigger houses among the village members.
For Sila, she lived in one of the Kallter's camps/makeshift villages right by the Icen Gate. As the chieftain's daughter, they of course resided in the main village of the tribe. Later, when she became a trader and "middleman" for Kallters and other Jorvegians, she lived in a small tent just outside the valley and toward Valedale.
While I mentioned that the Choir kinda resides by Jorvik's crater, they technically don't have a set home - the same goes for Rachel. They constantly roam all across Jorvik, ever vigilante and keeping an eye on the island they swore to protect.
But, around the time of the AU taking place during the game's events, Rachel eventually moves into a hidden away house somewhere in the deepest part of Wildwoods.

Well, Nivian didn't even know Pandoria existed until after she was discovered to be the reincarnation, and even then, she didn't really...she never fully believed it. Xe struggled to believe a lot of the things tied to magic and the otherworldly, and you know. So, xe doesn't really have an opinion on it beyond disbelief.
For other things, well...she's not a fan of the settlers, but she wasn't alive during the Jarl's time to personally meet him, yk. She's not a fan of him, though. And Galloper Thompson terrifies xem.
Born into a tribe that is quite attuned to Jorvik's magic and everything tied to it, Sila was aware of Pandoria's presence and always quite fascinated by it. She feels curious about it, but in an alert way. She was made aware of the destruction Pandoria could cause to Jorvik, but how can you not be curious when you've heard such mysterious things of that other realm?
Regarding legends and such, she hates the Jarl and she doesn't really care of Thompson. He does not faze her. The Ice Witch she heard many stories about, but she never...she never dug deeper when listening to the elders' stories.
And Rachel is someone who respects Pandoria and what the realm and its Seers are capable of, but to really call her a fan would be wrong. Pandoria's existence as it is currently unfolding poses a threat to Jorvik and its people, which is enough reason for Rachel to be apprehensive and have more negative than positive feelings toward that realm beyond time and space.
As a member of Aideen's Choir, I think it is quite clear that what she'd think of the Jarl and humans that harm Jorvik in general.

Uh, for Nivian, well, typical 13th-14th century fashion, I'd say. Later on, there's that druid fashion touch to xer outfits but, yeah. I barely know anything about todays fashion, so please do not expect me to know anything about its history, lol.
Sila wears mostly traditional Kallter clothing, most of it even made by herself - especially after leaving the valley and befriending Nivian. She had to adapt to the now warmer climate and sew new clothing for herself. There's always hints of fur and traditional Kallter motives there, though.
And Rachel, as an immortal, always wears whatever is currently worn by the people.
Her most common "outfit" is the armor gifted to her by Aideen. You can imagine something like that of Dame Aylin from BG3, maybe? Not that dramatic, but you know. In that direction.
