You should ask Comcast. There might be a special filter that has to be on that line. It should work though. It won't hurt to try it though.

No, you cannot use someone else's service by connecting two cable modems together. A single cable modem needs to be provisioned by the internet provider, such as Comcast. Every cable modem has a MAC address that needs to be registered on Comcast's CMTS and provisioning system.
If your friend is next store, you can set up a wireless router and use his internet connection wirelessly.
