I would cold email. Most people would be very annoyed by a cold call to their personal number.
I wouldn’t. Ask around for his email.
Absolutely email. You can take advantage of this mutual connection if they're friends - "I'm interning at X firm and John Doe recommended I reach out to you"
It's weird and invasive to call someone's cell phone to network.
Yeah even if you actually know this person somewhat well, you should probably still email them out of professionalism and respect. Some people wouldn’t care, others do, so emails would be an easier option
