Which makes more impact on sway
Here's my dilemma...which makes more impact on potential to sway? Too much tongue weight or too little tongue weight?

Towing as close to level as possible is definitely best, especially with a dual axle trailer. You want the load on those tires/axles to be as evenly split as possible.
You're right about tongue weight math- weigh the truck separately, then while it's hooked up (trailer off scale). Difference between those two numbers will be tongue weight.
I think it's best to do this with W/D disconnected just so you get "real" tongue weight numbers before the weight gets "distributed". I may well be wrong about that- and I'm sure that if so, someone will be along with a correction.
