Typically, I don't usually approach people out of nowhere. I'm one of those people who likes to kinda meet a person OOC and then schedule "RP Time" with them. There's always a part of me that thinks I'm interrupting whatever the person's doing when I approach randomly, so I generally do not. ...and on bad days, I'm even more likely to just not talk to people already in Linkshells, Free Companies, etc.
In terms of being approached, unless I'm otherwise busy with something, I tend to drop what I was doing (probably leveling or crafting) to RP or at least OOCly chat with the person. I'm far more open to a stranger talking to me than I am talking to a stranger. (I know. I'm being hypocritical because I tell people to talk to strangers!)
If a person makes a lasting enough impact on my interest, whether I was just observing their RP or a part of it, I may look up their search info and wiki, if they exist. Search info browsing usually only happens if I'm sitting there with a group list already open. ...or if I'm looking for someone. (So I don't typically look at search info unless I've already decided to search for the person to start.)
