Depends. Is it a stray or a strange dog you have never seen before? Then yes just to be safe.

He/she's probably just trying to get you to play. Or he/she is trying to be dominant; it all depends on the dog's body language.
Not all. Like cat's don't bite they only scratch.
My dog does it because his allergies make him itch like crazy, if I were you, I would take your dog to the vet, it could be a rash.
no they will bite maybe but not scratch.
So he does not bite, or scratch.
A attacks someone on the neck. They both bite and scratch.
They can - passing the worms can be irritating, which most dogs would respond to by trying to scratch or bite their tails. More likely, your dog may have another type of parasite such as fleas (which tend to accumulate around the tail head) or lice. If the irritation persists, or your dog's tail starts bleeding or scabbing over, I would suggest taking him to the vet for an examination.
