He follows him around and that's it? Why?
It's implied that Michael latched onto Laurie as a victim (in the first movie at least) because she looks similar in type to Judith (pretty, blonde, same age) and the actors who play young Michael and Tommy also resemble each other, so it looks like young Michael and Judith interacting outside of the Myers' house. Presumably Michael followed Tommy out of curiosity because he reminded him of himself.

The more times I re-watch it, the more I believe that Michael wants very little to do with harming the children.
His first kill on the street, after the dog, is only after Lindsay is brought across the street to watch movies with Tommy.
The film's opening scene is his crux, when he was a kid himself. I think he's still a juvenile within. In a way, at the school, he's standing up to Tommy's bully for him.
He cruises along watching Tommy, & before we can imagine wtf that's about, it's as if he departs & opts not to go further as he does stalking Laurie on her way home.
I say all that not knowing anything about the sequels which I've never cared about watching, not least this film is standalone enough for me.
