Do you salute an army warrant officer?
Technically an Officer Candidate outranks every enlisted rank. However, they are not officers and you do not salute them. In some situations on a post if the Officer Candidate School trainers deem it necessary, they may make passerby's salute the candidates if they are being disrespectful. This really depends on the SOP of the post, but in general the answer is no.

If an enlisted person is standing with an officer and another officer of lower rank walks up is the enlisted person required to return the lower ranked officers salute?
It's actually a bit tricky, but no - the enlisted member should salute the approaching officer after the senior officer has returned the junior's salute or as the junior officer approaches, assuming the senior officer diverts attention from the enlisted to return a salute rather than just acknowledge the salute by a nod. The junior will then return the enlisted member's salute after the senior officer has returned the junior's salute, and the enlisted should hold the salute to the junior officer until returned by the junior officer. However, if the enlisted is engaged in conversation with the senior officer, it is disrespectful to divert attention away from a senior officer to an approaching junior officer to salute. When it occurs, it usually it happens simultaneously when the situation warrants. Most senior officers don't like to be interrupted during a formal conversation (and it's disrespectful to do so unless it's warranted), so most avoid the situation altogether. It depends on the setting as well, e.g., formal or informal, indoors (yes, salutes are rendered indoors at certain functions) or outdoors, etc. Most of the time if a senior officer is engaged in conversation with a junior (enlisted or otherwise), unless it's urgent, the officer wishing to speak to the senior will wait until the senior is finished. If just passing by, the junior may salute the senior, at which point the senior may either acknowledge the salute by a nod, or return if appropriate.

Do you have to salute a cadet?
The salute is the greeting among the military. The junior rank/enlisted is required to render the salute first and hold it until the officer drops his salute. Cadets have not taken the oath of office and have not been commissioned. They may be saluted by enlisted. An officer would return a cadet's salute. It is not be a requirement for an enlisted man to render a salute to a cadet but it may not be career enhancing to give a cadet the brush-off when presented with the opportunity to render the greeting.
