While I am not exactly sure what the laws are in Oregon, I do know that most places it is now illegal to tow a vehicle on a public road with a rope or strap of any sort. It must be a car dolly or a car hauler. That should answer both those questions, but if not, I dare say common sense would say the officer that stops such an incident would consider the one behind the wheel of the one being towed operating a motor vehicle, in which case, just like anyone and anywhere else, that individual would have to be licensed to do so.

No. I had a Saturn of that year and the handbook warns against it. no front wheel drive vehicle should be flat towed (using a chain or strap).
