Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
For specific questions of law, you should contact an attorney in your jurisdiction.

There are no such laws in my state that require an orange tip. But, I don't live in some of the overly restrictive states such as New York or California that might require such a silly thing. You definitely should check with an attorney or local law enforcement if you are unsure of the laws in your state.
Update - It seems federal law requires anyone selling a toy gun to have an orange tip on it. I don't know that there is anything at the federal law that requires you to replace or maintain the orange tip. Again, local laws may be more restrictive due to the eagerness of politicians to criminalize all aspects of life.

I have no idea what the laws of your jurisdiction may be. Contact your local law enforcement agency.

Policies vary depending on the department, but generally:
1. If someone is there that the owner would like to take custody of the animal, they can.
2. If no one is close at hand that the owner will allow to take the animal, the animal will be collected by whatever animal control organization is in the area. Some jurisdictions this is operated by the government, in other areas it is contracted out to another organization. Once the owner posts a bond, he or she can then go collect his or her animal.

The deployment of one or two officers to a car is largely dependent on the ingrained culture of the department. Many years ago a study suggested officers were no less safe patroling solo as they are with a partner.

There is no single answer to your question. You may as well ask "what does a middle manager in a company do." The only real answer is "it depends." Different agencies have different rank structures and assign job duties/responsibilities in different ways. At one department something might be assigned to an officer, while it is assigned to a captain at another department.
