Neither of those is a sentence. Either can be a grammatically correct phrase.
"My friend and I" is only a subject, and needs at least a verb to make it complete, as in "My friend and I rule".
"My friend and me" is only an object, either of a verb as in "She beat my friend and me" or of a prepostion as in "She explained grammar to my friend and me." As you see, "my friend and me" needs at least a subject AND a verb to make it a sentence.

It depends on your sentence. Take a look at these:
1. My friend and I went to the store.
2. My mother saw my friend and me at the store.
sentence 1: doer of the action
sentence 2: receiver of the action

Yes, they can. Anyone can sue anyone else here in the US for anything. I had a real, live client, he was a doctor, she was a housewife. They had a 26 year old son that lived with them - paying rent, in the garage apartment. He had a car in his name, with his own insurance. He had a drinking problem. He drove drunk one night, hit a young father of three kids, left him paralized for life. His policy paid out the limit. The guy then sued his parents, as they knew he had a drinking problem, and didn't try to keep him from driving. Jury sided with the young paralized dad of three - and the dad's umbrella policy ended up paying out $5,000,000 for a judgement. Anyone can sue anyone else. Will it hold up in court? Depends on the circumstances. Meanwhile, the "anyone else" is stuck with the defense costs, which can be more than the judgement, in some cases.

It depends on where you're using it within the sentence. If it is proper to use "I" there, use "my friend and I." If "me" is correct, go with "my friend and me." If you're not sure anytime take out the "and ______," and see how it sounds. You wouldn't say "My friend and me went to college," because you wouldn't say "Me went to college."

My friend and I (if it's at the beginning of a sentence).

It's number one.
If you had a longer sentence, like this, you'll see why it makes sense.
"My friend and I went to the game."
If you went by yourself, you'd say "I went to the game." Not "Me went to the game."
