I didn’t really get the first episode or Watchmen. I am assuming though that there isn’t going to be much of the movie characters showing up besides Ozymandias? When is this supposed to be set in relation to the movie? Is Rorschach still alive?

This is set up as a direct sequel to the original comic series. Like that, it's set in an alternate version of the present day (1985 in the comics, 2019 on the show).
Dr. Manhattan kills Rorschach at the end of the comic/movie.
Jean Smart is playing Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman's character in the movie) in the show (they showed her in the preview). Also, based on the previews, it appears that Dr. Manhattan will be appearing in some way.
