It doesn't really matter whether or not you use a hyphen between a name and an honorific when romanizing Japanese, although it is common practice. I believe it looks cleaner, so I like the hyphenate honorifics, but there aren't many people who will outright criticize another's romanization (especially whether they use a hyphen or not). Although, the problem with not using hyphens is that some may think that the honorific is part of the name itself, which would lead to quite a bit of confusion.
Please see the following examples:
ç”°ä¸ã•ã‚“ - Tanakasan vs. Tanaka-san
トãƒ?ãã‚“ - Tomukun vs. Tomu-kun
清åã¡ã‚ƒã‚“ - Kiyokochan vs Kiyoko-chan
サルコジ様 - Sarukojisama vs Sarukoji-sama
Yes, you can use a hyphen in a three-syllable word to separate its component parts or to indicate a compound adjective.
"San" is typically added after a person's last name in Japanese as a polite suffix, rather than before the last or first name. It is used as a title of respect and can be added to either the last name or full name when addressing someone in a formal setting.
Yes, unless you mean that the car salesman is a small person.
As with many compound terms, it depends on the usage and placement. In general, if the words are used as a modifier directly preceding the modified word, the hyphen is required. Otherwise the hyphen is not used. Examples: * "We use only first-class ingredients." * "Your presentation was first class." Style manuals such as Words into Type and Chicago Book of Stylehave chapters detailing hyphen usage, and they're excellent references for any writer or student.
Yes, if "easy-to-use" is describing something else. An example would be "Answers.com is an easy-to-use tool for gathering knowledge."

A hyphen is a "dash" that we use to put a compound word together. Such as 24-hour clock or 42-foot.
Yes, "pre-dose" typically uses a hyphen when it functions as a compound adjective before a noun, such as in "pre-dose assessment." The hyphen helps clarify that "pre" modifies "dose" as a single concept. However, if used as a noun or in other contexts, it may not require a hyphen, so usage can depend on the specific context.
Yes, "dress-up" does need a hyphen when used as a compound adjective before a noun, as in "dress-up clothes." The hyphen helps clarify that the two words are acting as a single unit modifying the noun. However, if "dress up" is used as a verb or a noun, then the hyphen is not needed.
