Generally speaking, only the president or governor af a state can order the flag to be flown at half-staff.

You can find more details here. Scroll down to paragraph (m).

Yes, provided that other rules on displaying the flag are complied with. If the national flag is the only one displayed, you may legally fly it at half mast at your own discretion.
