By enlisted personnel, yes.
EM is an abbreviation for Enlisted Men or Enlisted Man.
The salute is the greeting among the military. The junior rank/enlisted is required to render the salute first and hold it until the officer drops his salute. Cadets have not taken the oath of office and have not been commissioned. They may be saluted by enlisted. An officer would return a cadet's salute. It is not be a requirement for an enlisted man to render a salute to a cadet but it may not be career enhancing to give a cadet the brush-off when presented with the opportunity to render the greeting.
Commissioned Officers and Warrant Officers are saluted by all enlisted personnel. Commissioned Officers of subordinate rank are required to salute other Commissioned Officers of higher rank. All military personnel are required to salute recipients of the medal of honor regardless of rank.

Salutes are for the soldiers themselves and amongst themselves. However, there is no law against saluting a soldier as a sign of respect, though if they are enlisted they'll probably point out that they don't get saluted.
No. Enlisted personnel typically aren't saluted, except under special circumstances (e.g., when being reported to, Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, etc.)

Technically enlisted men always put enlisted at attention. Officers never yell; they conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen. If an officer comes into a room the senior enlisted man will command "attention" or " officer on deck" and they will all come to attention.
The first ship in the navy named after an enlisted man was the USS Osmand Ingram.
