The easiest way is, when you give someone your password. This is often requested under different excuses; for example, somebody will claim to be a Jagex representative, or promise you a free membership. Such players should be reported immediately.

Yes, hacking or compromising any account always presents the risk of having legal action taken against you. Not only does it put you at risk in real life, but it also ruins your internet reputation, loses friends, and also marks you as a target by Jagex to be dealt with. Jagex has been known for taking legal action against players who have misbehaved constantly (like botting), so watch out!
Hacking without permission will always be illegal.

Hacking other peoples RuneScape accounts can get your IP address permanently blacklisted by Jagex, therefor it is never advised. Hacking accounts is also a direct violation of RuneScape terms of service. There is no real account hacking software for RuneScape, any program saying it can do this is lying and will most likely infect your computer with keyloggers, Trojans horses and other malware.
