The New Testament advises in 1 Corinthians 7:1, "Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote: It is good for a man not to touch a woman." The New International Version, though, alters this to say only that it is better not to marry.
The Hebrew culture required that women be separate from men in worship. There was a wall or curtain right down the middle of the sanctuary. Women wore head coverings or veils. These things are derived from Jewish oral tradition more than from The Bible. However, when Jesus was crucified, the earth shook and the veil in the temple was torn down. It is generally taught that this meant that Christ's sacrifice brought an end to separate worship for men and women.
In summary, there is no absolutely clear guidance. However, the basic rules of respect and honor taught in the Bible should have men understand that they should not do (or try to do) anything with a woman that makes her uncomfortable whether in or out of church.
The answer to that question is dependent entirely on the mores of the society in which the man AND woman live, the relationship between the man and the woman and the situation in which the woman finds herself feeling that it's okay to hug a man. In some cultures, a man and woman should never touch if they are not related or married. In other cultures, it is quite normal for a woman to hug a man in certain situations, such as when congratulating for a joyous occasion, offering condolences for a significant loss or even as a form of greeting. It is seldom appropriate for a woman to hug a man in a workplace environment.
