Sitting still...... Most might disagree, but I move almost constantly, the trick is to move slowly, check your surroundings before you move, and be well hidden. I'm impatient, I sit for a while, then I stand, etc. I'll often still hunt. But with all this movement I rarely spook deer. You will eventually get a feel for things, just something that comes with practice.

Calling... Well Alabama isn't the Midwest and calling is often ineffective. I've had some success with a can, grunt, and rattling. But I bet it's less than 5% effective. Now as long as you don't overdue it, I don't think it hurts
