When I'm running towards someone and they're running towards me (does anyone walk in EQ?), should I veer to my right or to my left, or should I just run right through them for a moment of nerd oneness?

Nobody really cares. Nobody really RP walks, if you see someone walking its usually due to encumbrance.

What is the point of stealth buffs? My low level necro (level 11) was exploring the Warrens (it's been years since I've been there) learning the ropes on solo dungeon crawling when out of the blue, no hello, no conversation or greeting whatsoever, a well-meaning druid cast some level 50 buffs on me. Suddenly, I had a thorny shield and some other buffs and what was once a challenging area (for my level) of the dungeon was trivialized. I clicked off the god-mode buffs but then he proceeded to buff me again still without saying a word.

We buff you to be nice, as you say low levels can be painful and generally people want them. Buffs in EQ make a huge difference, an aspect that isn't in most MMOs these days. If you don't want them click them off, we have no way of telling. Most people 1) just want to be nice and 2) don't particularly want to spark a real conversation. Say thanks/thanks but no thanks and move on.

It was actually quite disruptive. I've found these stealth buffs to be the oddest and even the creepiest thing about low level zones.

This is the oddest and most perplexing take I've seen in a while. Maybe on par with people who get annoyed with ALS rules, but somehow weirder.
