Why was he cat calling a stranger who very quickly indicated they were not interested.
There's a difference between "cat calling" and asking a lone person, walking in the night in the middle of nowhere: "Is everything okay? Didn't mean to scare you, just seeing if you needed help".
Why did he keep stalking this person for a long time until he realized it was Amantha?
Again: There's a difference between "stalking" and simply driving at walking speed so he can ask something. Sure it's weird that he drove behind her until she turned around and he recognized her, but that was most likely a choice by the director to make the scene feel more "dangerous" than it actually was, obviously you fell for that little trick.
Why did he keep stalking this person for a long time until he realized it was Amantha?
That "long time" wasn't even 20 seconds and during those 20 seconds they kept talking with each other. Can't ask people if they need help if you just race past them at 60 mph, can you? Billy even apologizes for scaring her, saying "Sorry, kinda hard not to scare somebody in that kind of situation" and he certainly has a point there.
In fact, they tell you not to even pickup strangers off the road for the safety of both parties.
You reap what you sow, if you sow distrust then you will receive distrust in return. It says a lot about our current "culture" how you make this, rather friendly and what should be normal, gesture out as "creepy cat calling and stalking".
