Were the 30 Rock live episodes, one each from seasons 5 and 6 shot from studio 6H at 30 Rock itself or were they shot at a different location? Since there were at least more than 4 different sets in that same one episode, were portions of it shot live and others prerecorded, like how SNL does it for its sketches frequently?

Yes.
"Live Show", the fourth episode of the fifth season was shot in Studio 8H. From Wiki:
Studio 8H in the GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza is where Saturday Night Live (SNL) is filmed and was used as the location for "Live Show"
"Live from Studio 6H", the nineteenth episode of the sixth season was also shot in Studio 8H. Again, from Wiki:
Studio 8H in the GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza is where Saturday Night Live (SNL) is filmed and was used as the location for "Live from Studio 6H".
