So I got arrested and am being interrogated, what do I do? They say if I don't cooperate they are going to make things hell for me and put me in a holding cell with a bunch of gang members! But if I confess they will make things very easy for me.
Ask for your lawyer. If they don't immediately stop questioning you, continue asking for your lawyer. You don't ever want to say anything to cops. Even if they put you in a holding cell full of gang members, it is probably better to be there for a day than to confess and get sent with the same gang members for ten years. Anyways, most gang members are unlikely to mess with you if you just keep to yourself and don't cause any trouble with them. Keep in mind: cops lie, feds lie, they want you to confess, confessing or giving any information up is going to hurt you it is under no circumstances going to ever help you.
If I ask a cop if they are a cop, they have to tell me right?
No, cops do not have to tell you they are cops, neither do feds. Undercovers lie all the time. So do confidential informants. Be careful who you trust, even friends you have known your entire life can turn.
But what about smoking weed or using other drugs? Can they do this too?
Undercovers can smoke weed, and I am sure they will have no issues using other drugs either. Someone using drugs does not mean that they are not a cop or fed. It also doesn't mean they are not a confidential informant.
But I am non-important / don't do anything wrong / am small time
Even if you do nothing wrong, most LE wants to screw you. The majority of them are not trying to protect and serve, but are trying to meet some alpha male requirement they subconsciously have. They feel important when they bring you down. Also, people tend to minimize what they do, so you are probably bigger than you would like to admit.
When I talk online I like to say SWIM (someone who isn't me) instead of me or I. This keeps me safe right?
No, this offers you no protection at all. People who say SWIM are just fooling themselves. People tend to like to have "security blanket security" where they convince themselves they are safe as long as they do some simple ritual (as opposed to taking actual security precautions, which are a bit more difficult). Security blanket security is dangerous, as it doesn't offer real security but makes you act as if you are secured.
