Does ong mean they like me?
Not directly; it just means they're being emphatic or sincere. It doesn't inherently signal romantic interest, but sincerity can be a good sign in any relationship.

Usually no, it's a casual slang term among peers. In very formal settings or with elders, it might be out of place, but it's not inherently disrespectful.
