Also, to go from one lane (left) to another (right), you have to signal your lane change. There is a required distance for you to give notice (varies by state).

Depending on the timing, you are probably cutting the other driver off.

My advice: don’t do it. Saying that you’re acting legally (probably not) doesn’t make it safe.
Nope.
The car turning right had a red light since the OP (turning left) had a green arrow.

Really, this isn't complicated.
