Bad - It was one of my first AP's I didn't know much and when I went out of my body I looked around a little floated there and then decided to look outside my window. The first thing I noticed was a little spirit floating by about 20 feet outside. It didn't look friendly and I probably should have left that area to avoid it but I wanted to stay and check it out. I waited a little bit and it noticed me, it slowly started walking towards me I was a little worried but still decided to stay. It didn't look that scary or anything but it gave a negative feeling. when it finally got up to the window it just walked right through it (you can do that in the astral) and grabbed on to me. It was trying to scare me or something because it started shaking me. Its kind of funny now but at the time I was terrified, I broke free and started to walk backwards when it tried to jump on me. Thats when I found myself back in my body. Scared but no physical harm.
SO is it routine to see other "spirits" out there floating around? Is it like some other plane of existence where these dudes are just hanging out and screwing around with the newbies?
I believe it is another plane of existence but thats for the projector to decide. There are 2 sides to AP's but they both share many of the same views.
The spiritual side of things these projectors tend to see this as there soul going around and they may try to meet dead relatives etc.
The Scientific side, while AP is not endorsed by most scientific establishments at the moment it is gaining a lot of attention and many scientific studies are starting to be done. The scientific side thinks that there body has a invisible energy going through them and that for a AP it creates a energy body and uses that to travel out in this other plane.
Now I haven't had enough experience to answer your question about the spirits but in that book "astral dynamics" by Robert Bruce (the best guide out there) he talks about it. I wont go into a direct quote because its a big book lol but its in there just read it.
He says that there are many different beings that stay there, the negative beings can't harm us "newbies" and they try to scare the S*** out of us because it will usually send us back into are bodies. The Astral is controlled mainly by the mind to the point where if you think rain it will rain, but its more complicated then that and hard to explain. There are also good "spirits" out there usually doing there own thing or helping someone out. They are usually not that talkative and keep to there self. Others will help you if you ask nicely but others just want to do there own thing.
He talks about meeting beings and explaining to them where he is from and them being amazed because they don't know anything about it. To them it must have been like a alien coming and telling you the sun is blue lol.
There are the good, bad, and ugly in the astral but its not common to see other people or spirits and if you do they mostly won't talk to you or may get a bit annoyed that your bothering them. Others will lie as many negative spirits can talk and seem normal, they are said to be able to go into the "Akashic Records" to get info on you to answer your questions while they lead you to do what they want through trickery. Many of the terms for the astral and other things are from Asia as over there they have been astral exploring for thousands of years and were slow to catch up.

Yes, Near Death Experience (NDE) IS similar to Astral Projection; BOTH involve the "Silver Cord"; get a NDE "thread", and I will share MORE about MY NDE. 
MJ, that WAS interesting... 
GOOD job! You don't have to worry about another "spirit" taking over your PHSYICAL body,
