Is a woman interested in you if you work together and whenever you go to get something where she is you see her looking for or at you and when you see her she always smiles and waves her hand at you?

I'd be really careful on this one. She could be just very friendly and enjoys seeing you. If you are both single, perhaps she is interested so why not ask her out on a date. If one or both of you are married then take it as just being friends and keep it that way. I am very friendly towards some men I work with (also women) but it's just because I respect them and enjoy their company and so I will often joke around, but it's never serious and I make sure they know that.
