Edit: I had someone comment one time when I did, and it was kind of weird and embarrassing? But it seemed like a fairly normal thing to do, so I thought I'd ask.

Yes. Excess of green or yellow mucus could be indicative of strep throat or a cold. If there's bleeding, that's a sign of worse.
Blood is most likely just a minor nosebleed due to nosepicking or simply vulnerable tissue. No need for panic. If it happens more often than not, then simply check with a doctor. And still no need for panic.
My left nostril bleeds pretty much every time that I blow full-blast. I have to be gentle to avoid it.
