I am a server myself and as a general rule never tip less than two dollars even if dining alone. Tip according to the service you receive but base it on a two dollar minimum, and always at least 15 percent. Of course tipping more than 15 percent is always welcomed. Service above and beyond excellent should always be rewarded. Servers are taxed based on sales and whether you tip or not, they are still getting taxed as if you did leave a tip. Unless the server is outright rude to you leave at least 10 percent, even if the service was slow. They are still being taxed.
I wouldn't. Tell the waiter you appreciate his service but that you do not agree with him not getting the tip. If the owner is there, I would tell him in front of the waiter.
In the United States, it is not illegal to not tip a waiter, but it is considered customary and a social norm to tip for good service. Waiters often rely on tips as a significant portion of their income.
* No the waiter/waitress should never ask for a tip. It is up to the patron to decide if the waiter/waitress deserves a tip for good service. In some higher end restaurants tips (gratuities) are included in the price of your bill.
The amount one tips a waiter varies depending on the individual and the level of service. The typical tip for a restaurant waiter is between 15 and 20%. There is no upper limit on tipping, and one should tip more if the service exceeded expectations.

You should tip a waiter if the service is good. Normal amount is 15 to 20%. The fact that they are your friend shouldn't really be a factor, but it would be pretty bad to stiff them.
You can tip a waiter in Germany. As a matter of fact, they really appreciate it. It is however not customary, because they earn at least minimum wage, as opposed to the U.S. where waiters earn close to nothing.
15% of the total bill is usually OK.
