Answer 1

Very odd... if it's in the prints as well as in the viewfinder it pretty much has to be the lens.
* A fault/ smudge on the mirror, prism, or viewfinder wouldn't show up in the prints.
* A fault or dirt on the sensor wouldn't show up in the viewfinder.
You can check this by inspecting the lens with the aperture blades wide open (i.e. remove it from the camera and look through it against a solid bright background (white wall, blue sky, etc.). Or simply attach a different lens to the camera - is problem still there?
Just out of curiosity, can you post an example?

Answer 2

I tend to doubt it. Lens flaws cause no problems unless they are on the back element. Carefully clean that with breath and a soft, white cotton cloth.

Dots should not be in the viewfinder and on the pictures.
