The local white cap sales guy is telling me that cure and seal is desined to naturally break down after a month or so nd wont interfere with epoxy coating. I am pouring a new slab and want put a coating on it after about 2 months. Will cure and seal need to be removed? If so how?

Epoxy requires a diamond grind or acid-etch.
If the sealer is still present, the etch will not work. You will have to grind to prep correctly.

I live in the Sierra mountains. We are having temps in the mid to upper 80's. Very low humidity. My thought is to coat it with a clear epoxy or similar sealer as the finished floor. I want a polished concrete floor but think it will cost too much. I am thinking this will give me a similar look? Looking far advice on how to cure it and How to create a similar look to polishing?
If you want a polished look, consider using a single coat of clear SPGX one part polyurea. Easy to apply, just power wash it first.
Dont use the cure/seal, otherwise you should grind...all sealers tend to repel which equals failure if not prepped properly.
Below is a pic of SPGX.

I am pouring it on friday. I will look into the spgx. That sounds like what I want. So should I cover the slab with plastic and keep it moist? Does the color and thickness of the plastic make a difference? Water over or under the plastic?
