How do you express/say these items:
A) When you think that a person is to shy, can I say: "Don't worry, I don't bite"?
B) When you want to cool down a person in an "upset mood"? Take it easy? Easy there? This isn't the world end?
C) When you think that there's something really strange in the air, is "I have bad feeling about this" a good example?
Do you have a favorite expression or one that you often use when these situations occur?
Above all, thanks the kindness.

A) is correct, it's a light joke to try to put them at ease
B) it depends on what they're doing while they're upset or what they are upset about, say a person is doing some exercise while they are mad, and you think that they are doing too much of it or going at it too fast, then "easy there" would be fine, if you want to try to joke to calm them down, "easy there killer" is usually said. If they are pacing around the room looking like they are about to punch something, "take it easy" would work, and if they are over dramatizing what went wrong and acting like their life is over, you can say "it isn't the end of the world"
C) yes, if you have a feeling something bad is going to happen, "I have a bad feeling about this" is correct
