On its own right with its staff in front of the other staffs
a flag staff is a staff for displaying a flag
The Papal flag should be full staff
Raise the flag briskly to the top of the pole. Pause for just a second, then slowly lower the flag until it is in the center of the pole (literally half staff). Lowering the flag from half staff is the exact opposite. Raise the flag to full staff, pause for a second, then slowly lower the flag all the way.
It should be held at half-staff for a week.

When hung in a window, place the blue union in the upper left, as viewed from the street. When the flag is displayed on a car, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender. When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be so placed that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground. When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should be placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff. When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street. When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously.
A flag appearing on a speakers podium, or placed on the apron of a stage, is displayed on stage right or house left.
When looking at a series of flags in the USA the flag of the United States of America should always be on the left. Another way to look at it, if you were the flag this would be the flag's right. On a stage the US flag should be on the left of the stage from the audience view, to the right hand of the speaker. Again, the flag is positioned on the flag's right. If there is a row of flags the US flag should be in the center on the tallest flag pole.
Half mast. And yes, IMO.
The only time you lower a flag to raise it is during a flag ceremony, such as raising the flag to half-staff in remembrance of a national tragedy or to honor a fallen hero, and then raising it back to full staff at the conclusion of the ceremony.
