Answer

With my friend Tiger; or the friends name.
'I'm going with my friend"
"I'm going with my friend italki'

Answer

You can use "a guy friend" or just "friend". Its common to not specify male/female/etc. Younger guys (especially "frat" guys) may use "bro", but that's much more casual.

Answer

Women use the term 'girlfriend' and 'friend'. Men can use 'friend' or 'mate'. 
In Australia men have mates, and we call it 'mateship', a bit like being buddies. There is a whole continuum or spectrum as to how close or distant the friendship can be, to be called a mate.
