No you should carry on driving
Added: (in the US) As long as you are driving at the posted speed limit you are under no OBLIGATION to pull over and let other vehicles pass. However, you might consider doing so as a matter of courtesy, or if you find it necessary to drive slower than the posted limit (e.g.: operating farm equipment, or a faulty vehicle), pull over every so often to allow traffic to pass and flow smoothly.

The ticket for driving in the diamond lane varies by state. This lane is for cars with multiple passengers only.
The far right lane. On multiple lane highways, the lanes are counted from the left to right -- the fast lane is #1. So if you are on a 4-lane drive in #4. This applies to The US and right-side drive road, left side driver cars
SAFELY merge into and through the slower lanes of traffic. If you cannot do so before your exit is reached, continue on the next exit by driving in Lane 4 - exit there and then return one exit to your original destination.
Drivers should position their vehicle in the center of the lane they are driving in. Any other position communicates intentions to others which may be misleading, which in turn reduces the predictability of driving for everyone.
for passing other cars
If there are 3 lanes on your side of the freeway, the right-hand lane is there for vehicles to merge onto the freeway and it is the place for slower moving vehicles to drive; such as big rigs or cars towing anything. The lane in the middle is the passing lane for slow moving traffic, and it is the lane for primary travel of other than slow moving vehicles. The lane to the far left is for passing only, except when designated for specific use, like a carpool lane.
Drivers intending to stay on the highway/freeway should stay in the right lane or the lane designated as a through-lane. The only times you should move left is to allow vehicles to merge from a right side on ramp (and move back to the right lane as soon as you can), or to pass slower traffic already in the right lane (then move back to the right lane when it is safe to do so). If a freeway provides a "slower" lane and you drive slower than the maximum speed allowed, you should use the slower lane. But never hog the passing lane just to keep driving in it; move over and let faster traffic pass you.

In Texas you can be ticketed for driving too slow. But, it's rare unless a minimum speed is posted. When you go dangerously slow such that you are impeding traffic and cars are stacking up behind you they can ticket you for reckless driving but this is rare. If you are driving slower then the speed limit you should stay in the right lane unless turning left or passing a slower vehicle. In any event, 55 mph doesn't seem like an unreasonably slow speed, so you're probably all right.
Yes. And bikes will be double parking in those lanes as well impeding the cars movement.
You can, but you shouldn't. Passing on the right is dangerous, and should be avoided, as it causes problems with cars merging into what should be a slower lane, while you are going faster than the normal traffic in that lane. If you wish to pass a car that is in the center lane, go on their left. If the car in the left lane is going slow, wait for them to merge to the right.
When you are in a country that drives on the right, then generally you should drive in the right lane; the left lane is for passing. When you are in a country that drives on the left, then generally you should drive in the left lane; the right hand lane is for passing only.
