Do you bow when eucharistic minister gives you communion?
The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, No. 160 "When receiving Holy Communion, the communicant bows his or her head before the Sacrament as a gesture of reverence and receives the Body of the Lord from the minister. The consecrated host may be received either on the tongue or in the hand, at the discretion of each communicant. When Holy Communion is received under both kinds, the sign of reverence is also made before receiving the Precious Blood." The bow is not to the minister (or Priest) rather it is to the Body or Blood of Christ. So yes you bow regardless of who is the Eucharistic Minister.
Why do people form an x with their arms to not receive Catholic communion?
Traditionally only communicants (those receiving communion) should process and present themselves to the Priest or Eucharistic Minister. Sometimes those not eligible to receive communion process and they cross their arms to signify that they should not be offered communion. If a priest is distributing communion they may say a quick blessing on the person. This started when parents did not want to leave young children in the pews and so brought them forward.
