Actually, it's strongly recommended that you never have . in your command
path (although I do agree that it does make things easier sometimes). What
you should do is make your home directory be in your command path, or
wherever you expect to be making executables.

No, do NOT make them UID 0. You should make them a part of the group Wheel,
either by making them primary GID 0 or by adding them to your /etc/groups
file. Depending on exactly what you wish them to do, or how much you trust
them with your computer, you may wish to look into a utility like Sudo,
which gives them the ability to "su" but only for commands which you've
OK'd.
