The horse may spook for many reasons. There may be shadows you don't notice, litter blowing by, a new or missing object, impaired vision or just high spirits. To correct the spooking you must first identify what is causing the spooking in the first place and then attempt to get the horse desensitized to it through a repeated approach and retreat method until the horse is no longer afraid of what's causing the problem.

No never, not even if going through a narrow gap, always walk to one side so the horse doesnt bolt and trample you. absolutely not, you don't want to lead directly in front of the horse, but you don't want to lead right behind the horse either. you should lead the horse from your right, so the horse does does not feel intimidated.

It's safer to do it this way.

When training a horse, you wanna tie a knot that is tighter but will give. but if you are talking about a trained horse, you should be able to just tie it loose. so if the horse does spook it can get away. because if the horse does spook and cannot get away, the horse will go into flight mood and will more than likely break the halter of lead and run for a long time; where as if the horse can get away he/she might run away from the post, but will more than likely stop before he/she gets to far. u should tie your horse up with a quick release knot

You should never, ever walk in front of a horse when leading it! This is a dangerous place to be should the horse spook or attempt to run you over. You also cannot see the horse and you have no control over him in that position. You should walk to the left of the horse, beside its neck, with the lead in your right hand. Think of the horses head, his shoulder and you between them as points on a triangle. From this position you can see your horses head and if he should spook you are out of his way. You also have control over him via the lead rope and if he pushes into you, you can use your elbow to move him over.
