Supreme Leader Snoke, the “Emperor” of the First Order, is indeed no one else but the first Sith Lord ever to return from the dead: Darth Plagueis, Palpatine’s former master, who had been very much prepared for his “murder” at his pupil’s hand. The moment Palpatine was killed by Vader, the darkest force imaginable returned him from the dead. Snoke is the “Force Awakened” but he’s dying, only kept together by cybernetics and abuse of the Dark Side. He was the one responsible for Anakin’s immaculate conception, so in a way he is Luke’s “grandfather”, something Luke will learn at the very beginning of Episode VIII.
When they first speak to Snoke, maybe I'm far off here, but did anyone notice that when the camera angles itself along the left side of Snokes face looking down at Kylo and Hux it kind of looked like the Plagueis book cover? And this is the only time the camera is angled this way, it isn't repeated, was it intentional?

Yep
The theme's the same. That's the BIG piece in it's favor.
I see HD gifs and images going round, does that mean it's available to watch somewhere on the internet?

OP's image is a final model from post production of the film. The gifs are likely from the trailers. The only torrent anyone's been able to find is a low quality camrip in Spanish.

From Wookiepedia:
The novel climaxes where it began— as the Battle of Naboo occurs, Palpatine coerces Plagueis into sleep with the promise of making him co-chancellor of the Republic, just as Plagueis demanded decades earlier, now that Palpatine appears to be winning in the election to replace Finis Valorum as Chancellor. With that, Sidious attacks Plagueis and, as he kills him, he explains that he was the one who had really been manipulating Plagueis the whole time, with such deals as the clone army as an example. In the end, Sidious ends Plagueis's life with the dark side of the Force, although his feeling of triumph is ruined as he feels uneasy for some reason. He later attributes this to the supposed death of Darth Maul, though, as he initially suspected, it may very well have been Plagueis himself reaching out to him from beyond the Force.

Cont.
In canon (Clone Wars), Maul actually survived, meaning that Plagueis likely survived.
