Can a non veteran render a hand salute?
The hand salute is a sign of respect given with the right hand to show no weapon held against the one you are saluting. As such, it could be rendered by anyone, military or not, as a sign of respect. When standing for the passing of the colors or the playing of the National Anthem, however, one's right hand should rest upon the area of the heart as a similar tribute. Recently, the U.S. Congress passed a law allowing veterans to render a salute for the national anthem or passing of colors rather than hand-over-heart at their option.

Can your hand be at a right angle over your heart to salute the American flag?
I'm not sure what you mean by "at a right angle," but here is the proper way to salute: "To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men with head cover should remove it and hold it to left shoulder, hand over the heart." This information came from http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html While it is not stated how to place the hand over the heart, it is customary to place the palm of the hand toward the chest.
