ETH and ETC use the same algo, so the same miners work on both - you decide which you are doing based on what pool you point the miner at.

 You can't mine ETH at all on a card with less than 3GB RAM and I think you can't mine ETC on a card with less than 2GB (not sure if they're up to >2GB limit yet), as the DAG files are too large to fit in cards with less RAM.



 R9 270 is the same as my HD 7870 except for slightly faster RAM (not a major factor on ZEC) and an updated BIOS - 165 seems reasonable for a medium-to-high overclock on that card as it's right about where I remember my HD7870s managing.
