How do germans say hello?

I’m a brazillian going for an exchange program in Germany (Bavaria). Where I come from, we stick to the following social rules regarding greeting:

Social setting (parties, friends house, dinner)
man + man = handshake (sometimes a hug)
man + woman = one kiss on one cheek
woman + woman = same

Professional setting (mostly meetings)
Handshake for everyone

Do germans follow the french way of kissing 3 times or they just dont kiss at all? If i accidentally do it, is it weird, flirty, or just unusual?

Are these notes supposed to be connected or not?

In Chopin’s Nocturne n20a (my edition is from Henle Verlag urtext) those notes appear to be separated - i play them on first and then third tempo. However, on almost all recordings I can find the second C# is not played. What is the correct way to play this bar?
