Are there any good questionnaires out there, for friends of someone they believe is suicidal or for someone who believes they are themselves? I can't seem to find any good ones, so any help would be appreciated.

If the person is talking about ending it all, hurting themselves, giving up... you don't need a questionnaire to figure out that they are asking for help.
If they are talking about death, writing about death or asking for help in causing their death they need help, do not delay call 911 take them to hospital get them help anyway that you can.
This is not something that you alone can fix they need professional help.

Well you kind of answered this one yourself, byt saying that the person in question , even thinks that they are suicidal. So that would be good enough for me, or the police, or a therapist. Then next question would be how would you do it, if they have an answer to that then you need to get your friend to a ER, or call the local crisisline and have them meant them at that the locla hospital where they can talk to them, and find out what they are thinking, and how they would do it. It is better to stop it right now then to let it go on any longet then it already has. Then i would suggest that that person gets into therapy and work through the issues that he/she may have that has brought them to this point in life. If they have a plan and know just how they would do it, then they are sudical and they should be in treatment now, not later. To get help that would keep them amoug the living. So that they can get the help that they need.

I don't think so. Not good ones anyway.
I think you'd know if it was you, but all people show different signs, some show none, some are quite obvious. You just to spend time with and talk to the person you believe could be suicidal

Tell them, God doesn't give you anything you can't handle.
If you feel you must take your own life, then remember there is no other "You". And by doing this you will take responsibility in killing a "unique" creation.

This one is good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck_Depression_Inventory .
I haven't come across any reliable ones that focus on suicide as such.
