It is legal to trip the ballcarrier. Rulebook definition: Tripping is the use of the lower leg or foot to obstruct an opponent, who is not the runner (ballcarrier), below the knee.

If tripping occurs on an opponent other than the runner it is a 15 yard penalty.

No. Players can block for their teammates, but they can't physically assist them in moving down the field.
