If so, how? And if not, which additional information would I need?

Were you in an accident with this person? If not, then you have no reason to have this information. If you were in an accident then their insurance carrier will be listed on the police report.

No you can't. If you are talking about auto insurance and lived in a state that has mandatory insurance and had DMV records online you may be able to get that info if you had their drivers license number. Most states would require a fee. Check the DMV of the state this person lives in for what info you need. Again, this would only help you if your state requires you to have insurance.
You could have someone pose as an insurance salesman and call to give a free rate quote (phishing), or search the glove box or wallet of the person. You have to weigh the importance of the information you need against the cost of getting caught. I don't know how getting that infomation would justify the risk involved however.

Insurance coverage is a private contract between a consumer and an insurance company. It is not, and should not be, a matter of public record. The only way you can find out which insurance a person has is to ask them directly if they will share that information with you.

No, that information is subject to the privacy laws. Insurance companies do NOT put that information online.
It's not an issue of having "additional information". It's an issue of stalking.

The additional information you would need would be to ask them the name of their insurance company. If you're involved in a car accident, you're supposed to ask them for their insurance card at the time of the accident. Otherwise, about the only way to find out is either ask them or sue them.
There is no giant list out there in cyberspace of everyones insurance policies.

In Minnesota you can look up who writes an employer's work comp insurance by looking up their Experience Modifier that is published by the state. But you have to be registered with the state to be able to do that.
Also if an employer is insured (work comp) by the state run risk pool, that information is available on their website as well and I don't think you need to be registered with the state to look that up.
Otherwise I wouldn't think you can look up who someone has their homeowner's, auto, etc... insurance up, at least I would hope you couldn't, that wouldn't be good.

Not that I know of. There are privacy laws that would prevent you from having access to that info. If you have a claim agains someone who won't provide the info, turn it over to your own co. and file under uninsured motorist and let them try to get the info.
