How much of Russia could the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth have realistically gained control over? And what might a PLC-ruled Russia have looked like? Could it have become as Polonized as western Ukraine was IOTL, with the nobility speaking Polish and most of the population being Uniate?
Polish-dominated Russia?

Well, they took Moscow that one time, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish–Muscovite_War_(1609–1618)
So like if they Won More I could see a lot of occupied land

The maximum realistic extent, as in “territory which the PLC could hold for a considerable period of time”, was reached after the Smolensk War. The territory was polonized but within a few decades it was reconquered by Moscow. However, a considerable percentage of the local nobility remained Polish/Polonized to a degree that was visible at least till the early XVIII.
How the territory looked like? The same mess as the rest of the PLC.
Reminded me of this
