The only nation whose citizens are allowed to stay up to six months is Canada. Nations under the Visa-Waiver program (known as VWP) can stay in the US only up to 90 days as long as they have a machine-readable biometric passport and don't have any issues (such as being on the "no-fly" list). These nations are:
Andorra
Austria
Australia
Belgium
Brunei
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Iceland
Ireland
Italy
Japan
Liechtenstein
Luxembourg
Monaco
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Portugal
San Marino
Singapore
Slovenia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
If you exit the US and visit a neighboring nation (Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, Bahamas, etc..) during your 90 day stay, you will still be under the 90 day period and can't reclaim those days. The law has changed that those entering using the VWP will not be able to get another 90 day stay until a 90 day period has passed. If you plan on staying more than 90 days, you should take no chances and a apply for a lengthier tourist visa.

No. It wouldn't be a meaningful departure. If you don't live outside the U.S. for at least 6 months a year you are statutorily an immigrant and must have some sort of visa. If you get a particularly astute CBP officer for inspection you will be expeditedly removed. Returning for six months after a departure of only one month is indicative of an intent to live in the U.S.

You can also do that if your an applicant for permanent residency and have been granted an immigrant visa.
