Can Polders be used to gain access to luxury resources? If I have sugar on a marsh, can I build a polder on it and still get the sugar as well?

I can't confirm but I would say no. Has to be a plantation.

nope.
I don't believe the game will allow you to build any improvement other than what is required to get the resource, i.e. plantation/plant GP, otherwise I would be planting terrace farms on the mountain backed hills that have sheep. That is of course after you have discovered the resource is there. I've to take out farms before because aluminum or iron popped up.
There war one game I have plenty of Sugar and I prefer Polder on it even if it can't connect the resource.
The game just won't allow you to build Polder, only Plantation is allowed. The same is true with Wheat on Flood Plains tile, only Farm is allowed.

Well there are worse cases than that. In one of my Inca game I had a hill surrounded by like 5 hills & it had a sheep on it. So instead of building terrace farm to get insane 6
I was forced to build a pasture. 
sheeps give one food, and one more food with pasture, don't they? hill and farm terrace will output the same as hill sheep and pasture, or am I counting somehting wrong?Well there are worse cases than that.

Hills with mountains around them get more food from the Terrace Farm. So a hill with a terrace farm gets +1
, but add a mountain to it and it gets another +1. It keeps getting more food the more mountains surround that hill.

gah! Finally had a Polynesia roll and just assumed it would destroy existing improvements. I've disbanded my workers due to lack of work...reload!
I think it will destroy existing improvements such as plantations or mines, but you can plop a statue down on any tile. I don't believe they will connect that resource though.
The Maoi statue does destroy the existing improvements and it does not connect the resource, but it can be worth it under certain circumstance. If the tile is surrounded by 3 other Maoi and you can work all 4 tiles, you gain 7
if you put a Maoi there.
