Muslim greeting

I was on the receiving end of a handshake followed by a covering of the heart today. I think it is an unbelievably cool gesture, so I'm looking into some Muslim greeting habits, quite intriguing.
But almost everything I dug up covers Muslim-Muslim greeting, now I myself am an atheist, and I would like to know if it is impolite for a non-Muslim to greet a Muslim with this handshake, if it is appropriate for me to greet with 'Assalamu Alilkum (Wa Rahmatulah (Wa Barakatuh))', now I think the man is from South-East Asia, are the above words global? Or will he go like 'WT*, do I look like Arabic??' Can I combine the handshake and the vocal greeting?
Who greets who if I am sitting in a smaller group and he comes in walking and being part of a larger group? Do I rise from my chair?
It's not like I'm going to go in depth with this, I just think it's pretty basic and I want to return the courtesy from today. Cool btw that it is 'prescribed' to smile when greeting. I could learn from them. |

The moment I posted, I asked myself: 'How are they gonna make this thread chilly, it's way too serious for the COR'.
I shall never again underestimate the power of the COR.
