Far enough back that the bus driver can see you in their mirrors. If you can't "see" them, they can't "see" you.

The specific distance you need to stop behind a school bus will depend on your local traffic laws.

If a school bus is stopped and has its red lights flashing you must?

If you meet from behind, stop far enough to allow children to cross the street in front of you and behind the bus. If you are meeting from the front of the bus, the same applies- stop far enough to allow children to pass in front of you and in front of the bus. YOU MUST NEVER pass a bus that is stopped, with their red stop sign out, and/or has their red lights flashing. These signs indicate imminent roadway crossing of children who may be unaware of your presence in the roadway. YOU MUST wait until the sign is retracted, the red lights stop flashing, and the bus proceeds on its way. ONLY THEN may you proceed on your way.

Are cars going the same direction as a bus at a bus stop required to stop?

Vehicle drivers must expect that a bus will stop at a bus stop. If it is unsafe to overtake the stopped bus, then the vehicle driver must wait until the way is safe to overtake the stopped bus. If the way is clear, then the vehicle driver doesn't need to stop behind the stopped bus, but can overtake if it is safe to do so. It is all about common sense!

No.Added: The laws regarding stoipped school buses are in effect no matter where the bus is operating. In fact they are pretty much universal throughout the entire US, and you can readily assume that when you see one stopped with lights flashing you must stop, wherever you are.
