Enough to worry about?

Front L -13/32 degrees
Front R -3/16 degrees

It seems like its out of factory specs.

Will dead sagging shocks affect camber?

Unfortunately shocks dont sag only wear out.
Springs will sag.
Does it still steer OK?
Tyre wear OK?

Then leave alone.
If you can afford it a new set of springs and shocke ie. OME's, makes a a big diff.

Caster (sometimes call king pin inclination in the old days) is affected by the ride height,ie if you lift the car. Camber however should not be. There are 2 ways to fix it. In Australia you can buy wedge plates/shims that you fit between the axle housing and swivel hub where they bolt together. The second way is to bend the axle housing, most of the places that align trucks can do this here.
