Only if it's unsecured or you know the password.

Spoof your MAC address if you do connect.

Yep, It's a goog idea. But sniffing your traffic could expose your identity on the network if you check email, log it to websites,...

Your average joe just sits at the pc and does what they have to do ... as long as you are not taking the pish with their bandwidth ..
no body will ever know you are there.

If you're planning to use Backtrack, just make sure you have a compatible wireless card and the wireless network being ah..."tested" uses WEP encryption.

If the network is unsecured, needless to say Backtrack is not required, just connect!

Sure, as long as its unprotected or you have the password.
Take note that using somebody elses wireless without the owner's permission is illegal and in some countries can be punished with expensive tickets or jail

Assuming the average Joe is just that and the bandwidth/speed can handle the extra load.
How would you know?
