For the first question about putting in the field name, I don’t think there is any way around that beause that’s the only way to tell your shortcode what tag to display.

For the second, you need to do a test of the value and if it’s empty then return noting.

function sc_headline( $atts )
{
    // extract attributs
    extract( shortcode_atts( array(
        'field'			=> '',
        'field_name'		=> '',
        'post_id'		=> false,
        'format_value'	=> true
    ), $atts ) );
	
	$field_name = "sz_employee_experience";
	$value = get_field( $field, $post_id, $format_value);
	$field = get_field_object($field_name);
	if (!$field) {
		return '';
	}
	
    if( is_array($value) )
    {
        $value = @implode( ', ', $value );
    }
	return '<h3><strong>' . $field['label'] . '</strong></h3>' . $value . '<br>';
    //return $value;
}
add_shortcode( 'acf-headline', 'sc_headline' );
