Best Answer

It has long been traditional for counsel to bow to the judge when they enter the courtroom while court is in session and upon the judge entering the courtroom. The bow is not an exchange of courtesies between two duelists about to fight. The bow is a sign of respect. Counsel bow to the judge, not as a sign of respect to the person, but as a sign of respect to the judicial office.

You do not have to bow but it is customary to rise and stand until the judge enters the courtroom. Also, the judge should all be address as your honor.

Who should speak first the person entering the room or the person already in the room?

I would think the person entering the room should be the first to speak. It can also depend on the gender, and ag of persons involved. Out of respect, the elderly should be spoken to first regardless of whether they are in the room or entering. If you are entering the home of someone, you should be the first to speak.
