See the column Structure

In CS6 when you use the Flexible Grid, you can choose to see the underlying column structure.  This seems to be missing in the Dreamweaver CC 2017 version.  At least i can't find a way to see the columns underneath the website live view. So is there a way to do this, or maybe an add on that would provide this?

And also is there a way to edit the size of a responsive image within Dreamweaver?

I've never needed guides with Bootstrap.  All you have to remember is the 12-box grid. Column classes add up to 12 or less.  If they exceed 12 then they naturally break to the next row.

As an example, this is 2 columns on tablets and 4 columns on desktops.   2 x 6 = 12, 4 x 3 = 12.

<div class="row">

     <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-3">

     column 1

     </div>

     <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-3">

     column 2

     </div>

     <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-3">

     column 3 (on tablets this will break to 2nd row)

     </div>

     <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-3">

     column 4

     </div>

</div>

Since Bootstrap width is all based on percentage & not pixels,  column width varies.

Are you asking about the legacy Fluid Grid Layouts features?  That was removed from CC 2017.

Well sort of, I was hoping for a way to be able to "view" the bootstrap columns Under each size browser window.
