Installing a subpanel

being in the same building brings up another question i had the other day.
I've got a sub right next to the main panel ( to add spots) . Does it
still have to have the ground and neutral seperate and fed with 4 wires in
this situation?

I don't see any advantage to having a second disconnect if the sub is in
the same building as the main panel. If it's in a detached building, it
is a requirement
Probably. If the panel you're calling a sub panel, is fed from the other
panel, it is in fact a sub panel, and must have separate busses. You can
however have up to six panels with main disconnects in each of them, and
each would be treated as a main panel, and grounds and neutrals would be
bonded together in all of them
