It's easy to overdo, but there's still a ways to slide up the spectrum before it comes off that way. You can be like "Bob, what do you think?", instead of "Hey, what do you think" plus looking at Bob intently. Also works okay while delivering a compliment - "Bob, you're hilarious!".
Yes. I would add greetings and farewells to the class of social contexts in which addressing someone by his or her name is desirable. 'Hi, Bob' and 'Bye, Tina' are almost always preferable to 'Hi' and 'Bye', respectively.
