Having never played GTA5 before im absolutely loving the game, havent done a single mission yet tho

.
Couple of questions i have tho which people may be able to help with.
1. I seem to get in to fights with pretty much everyone just by looking at them, its not intentional im just casually walking along and when i stop to have a look at someone they start a fight with me. If i look at a cop i get arrested.
Is this normal? is there a taunt button or something im hitting by mistake? Ive noticed you can give the finger while driving and dunno if im doing something similar when looking at people.
2. Anyway to change the location of the UI elements? When im driving it annoys me that the map in the bottom left blocks the wing mirror view
