There was a thread on ND filters last week - search for "ND Filters". General consensus is don't buy the cheap adjustable ones. In the $20-30 range fixed ND filters are fine, and $150 is a silly price to pay for one. If you want an adjustable one, though, spend the big bucks.
As for the polarizer, i use an AmazonBasics Polarizer. It works as expected, and I'm not sure it makes sense to spend more on the polarizer.
You should grab one of these. Great for getting rid of glare and getting details on clouds... through water... etc.

If you've got a pair of polarized sunglasses handy you can hold them in front of the lens and shoot through those. Just rotate them around until you find the sweetspot.
You could try adding a polarizing filter in front of your webcam lens:

It will darken things, but at the correct rotation, it should get rid of most light reflecting from your monitor.
Or, move the webcam a little off-angle. Put it on the corner of your screen, may help.
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Circular-Polarizer-Lens-58/dp/B00XNMXYBY is the exact CPL I use, i do not get a color cast or any noticeable decrease in sharpness from it. Its cheap, and causes me to lose 1.5-2.5 stops of light.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004ZCDI is my ND filter, its a 3 stop, so when combined with the CPL I get around 5 stops. I get a very small color cast when using both, but it is easily fixed in post.
Can't get much more budget...
