Is it illegal for a off duty police officer working as private agent to run an ncic tag check on you if you are not a suspect in or associated with any crime?
No. Your criminal history and wants/warrants are normally considered a matter of public record. No probable cause is required for a police officer to check a name against the NCIC database.
However, many agencies have policies regulating when and why a person's record can be checked, to ensure an officer doesn't use the information for personal reasons.

If the police detain a person with a weapon outside a car and search the car without asking is it an illegal search?
A cop is not allowed to search your car without consent UNLESS they suspect that illegal activities are going on inside the vehicle, such as an open container (alcohol) or illegal drugs. If they suspect that you are hiding something illegal, they legally (as police officers) have the right to search your vehicle, and detain you as they do it. If you had a BB gun outside and were talking to someone in a car, the officer might wonder what's going on, and suspicion (instincts) would tell him that something's up. The officer might think that the BB gun is going to be used to steal the guy's car. Anyway, if he suspected that the driver of the car and you were doing something illegal (possibly selling/distributing illegal drugs), he might decide to search the vehicle, at which point he has every right.
