He follows him around and that's it? Why?

btw, I've not seen a single sequel, other than Halloween 3 which really isn't. I do know they've been mostly panned by critics, & yet with that childlike ego play, I wonder if the series could've benefited by chasing that idea & really making Michael a more layered character? Maybe an army of children could turn on him & defeat him.

You should see the sequels and judge for yourself. Yes, it's panned because of individual opinion, which by definition varies from person to person. I for one, found each sequel up until the last film to have something that made it worth my watching it, whether it was story, which got layered, but some would say poorly, the creative forces, the actors/actresses, etc. there was always something. Even as much as I disliked Halloween 2 2009 version, it did have beautiful women.

No. He was in Laurie's school window prior to following Tommy wasn't he?
Yup, you're right. Well, maybe he followed Laurie first. He saw she was in class all day so decided to swing by Tommy's school and stalk him for a while before driving by the girls later on as they walk from school. I also wanted to know where the heck did he park his car when he stood behind the bush by Lynda's house? And he somehow got to Laurie's back yard in a few minutes flat. Or maybe it's all in Laurie's head? She's seeing him everywhere.
Regardless he sure got around a lot that afternoon. And he had time to break into the hardware store.

In the 70s, maybe even today, elementary schools and high schools get out at different times. So Tommy's school let out before Laurie's. He follows Tommy then finds Laurie, Annie and Lynda on the street. Halloween street had several side streets to go down and even parallel streets so conceivably he could've parked on the other side of that long hedge and they wouldn't have seen the car. He did get around, but thanks to the Loomis cut away scenes it's hard to tell the chronology of it, if it was happening at the same time, during, etc. But it flowed.
In the end, it all worked out.
