Is it me or is there no way to preview how something will look when in the LIE window?
Also ... is there a way to use LIE to add a decal to a shirt WITHOUT the color of the shader used on the same shirt to alter the decal's color?

You mean preview in the Viewport while working in LIE? No, that isn't possible.
I'm not sure what you mean for the second - it isn't possible to stop the composite image mutliplying with the colour, not.
For the second part of your question, whatever color you add to the diffuse channel will apply to the map. So yeah, it will also apply to the LIE placed there. If you want the LIE atop of that diffuse color, then you could always use the overlay channel (apply the decal as a map in the overlay color and apply a mask (decal as all white, everything else black) on the overlay weight channel). The decal will only be visible when you render or use iray preview.
