There is really no way to be sure without actually checking in real time. General guidelines say to put the speakers firing down the long wall. As far as treatment, that is mostly room dependent, again. I have a window to the side of my speaker wall (I sit perpendicular to my speakers but my chair can roll to the sweet spot 2 feet away) and it doesn't seem to have any ill effect, although it is heavily curtained. But all things being equal, the rear wall is probably more important since reflections from it will probably cause more interference than the wall behind the speakers (if you have them set away from the wall, anyway).
To my mind, the most important treatment (once you've eliminated any long echoes [short slap-back echoes are a lot harder to get rid of) is some bass treatment. I've had a bed in my bedroom studio that has always helped w/ absorption), but just standing some rockwool panels in the corners while I was working on them really brought down the room noise build up. It is something you might not notice until it ain't there - kinda of low level harsh that the music or tracks would sink into. It is gone and I can hear the bass much more cleanly now.
