[Terminator 2] How exactly does the T1000 see? Similar to the T800, all red and with numbers and calculations and such?

The red numbers and visible calculations aren't even how the T-800 sees.  That's just a legacy diagnostic view meant for humans to use in debugging early units.  Skynet just never bothered to write it out of the code.  
What both the T-800 and T-1000 are doing internally is just feeding raw visual data from the cameras into their pattern recognition and parsing algorithms.  If you want to call that seeing, then the cameras are capturing roughly the same spectrum as your eyes, so the Terminators see the same thing you would.
