No. In some states, there are laws regarding tailgating, and you should not get too close to another vehicle. Common decency says that you shouldn't do so regardless of the laws. You should make sure that you have enough space to safely stop if the person in front of you has to stop. When passing on a two lane road (one lane per direction), you should hang back a little and begin to accelerate as you approach the passing zone. This way, you'll already be going faster than the car you are passing, and you don't have to spend as long in the opposite direction's lane.

Yes.
You should never pass a car when you are approaching a hill, a curve, an intersection, a railroad crossing or when other traffic approaching is close enough to present a hazard. Also you should know that it is illegal to drive over the posted speed limit when you are passing.
You should pass him the same way you would pass a car.
Use the 3 second rule. Watch the telephone poles or another stationary object . When the car ahead of you passes the object start counting, One thousand one , One thousand two , One thousand three. If you pass the object before one thousand three you are too close .
At freeway speeds, only a fool breaks the two second rule. Let the car in fromt pass an obstacle, sign, roadmarker or similar and you should pass it not less than two seconds later. At urban speeds one and a half to two car lengths.
You should check to see if another car is following close behind you. If you stop unexpectedly, the other car might crash into you.
