Yes: you will be getting your blood test for the coumadin (warfarin) and your meidication can be adjusted as needed. You should have a fairly consistant diet at all times to keep your anticoagulation stable. Treatment of hepatitis C has been revolutionized, so you are lucky to have access to the new treatments.

You can: As walnuts and warfarin aren't a concerning interaction. But be aware depending on your degree of cirrhosis you may require closer monitoring or lower doses of warfarin due to the relationship of warfarin and its effect on synthesis of coagulation proteins by the liver.
