Again, again.  
First one is the green thing growing from the Hen & Chick plant. I am wondering if this is new growth or some kind of sneaky weed.

2nd one is the yellow flower-

3rd (2 pictures) is a creeping plant that grows into other things. Wondering if I should pull it out.

    !, sneaked in, might be Mouse Ear Chickweed

    3. Honeysuckle

    My first thought was honeysuckle

    Honeysuckle is only creeping because there is no suitable support,eg trellis, to grow up.

    I agree with @nutcutlet. 
    I'd take the first one out from the sempervivum.
    If you can tie in or train the honeysuckle into something, it'll climb up it. They're excellent in hedging, or growing over sheds/garages etc.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    The one with the yellow flower, Wood Avens, is a weed or a wild flower, depending on your point of view. There is also what looks like goose grass or, another name for it, Sticky Willie, next to it. Pull it out, it will try to cling to you!

    Don't let grim urbanism seed. It'll turn up everywhere. It lurks beside tame geums so that you think it's a seedling. It isn't.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Strangely enough I was just about to post about Sticky Willie - what is it good for.

    There is lots of it growing in the garden and was wondering if it is good for anything or whether I should try and pull the whole lot.

    Arrrggghhh. I see it is quite deep rooty . . . it is hard to get out as lots of it is growing in amongst the bluebells and other things . .

    It is a goner! This is what it looks like pulled out.
