The defining legend of Solomon was his great wisdom, gifted by God. Some wise proverbs were eventually attributed to Solomon and for those the Jews certainly loved Solomon. However, the proverbs attributed to him appear to have been of Egyptian or post-Exilic origin. There is no evidence that any proverbs that really belonged to Solomon have come down to the present day. On that evidence, the Jewish reverence for Solomon was misplaced.
Among other reasons, yes. The Israelite kings conducted the nation and made decisions in most national matters. The fact that the nation was so prosperous and happy in his time (1 Kings 4:20) demonstrates that Solomon fulfilled this role in a praiseworthy manner.
In addition, each Israelite king was expected to be the leading judge of his generation, as the young Solomon stated explicitly (1 Kings 3:7-9). This is why he asked God for wisdom, which God granted. The famous case narrated in that chapter of Kings is recorded because it was one of the first that Solomon adjudicated, and because the people were so impressed (1 Kings 3:28). There is no question that he went on to use his vast wisdom (1 Kings ch.5) in other cases of judgment.
During Solomon's lifetime, there weren't any complaints.
Of course, Solomon was a human being and no human is free from sin or error (Ecclesiastes 7:20).
