Infected IV sites may become red, inflamed, and warm to the touch. The site may also be painful. When an IV site shows signs of infection the IV should be discontinued and a new one started.
Incorrect. When selecting an IV site, you typically start proximally (closer to the heart) and work distally (further away from the heart) for better flow and to preserve veins for future use.

Yes, it should not be running.
An IV set consists of a bag of liquid enclosed in an outer plastic wrap, IV tubing, IV needle.
Possibly an indicator of an infected IV site -- or that the IV either missed or pierced through the vein and the injectant was accidentally delivered at least partially subcutaneously instead of IV. If the site is red and hot to the touch I'd lean towards infected site, and act smartly. IV site infections can travel into the bloodstream. A cool bulge (at first), possibly with localized hematoma is indictative of a "miss". This may or may not require treatment depending on what was injected (tetracycline will sclerose at the injection site; normal saline will harmlessly absorb, for instance). In any case, move to another IV site with this patient. Also, if this is a SubQ "miss", note that the patient likely did not receive the proper dosage of whatever you were trying to inject.
