Yes, Machiavellianism ensures that too (being wary and hypervigilant).No, you shouldn't default to a form of Machiavellianism, just because that's the MO of people around you. What you should do is be aware and hypervigilant of the snakes around you.

Yes, but you need to be machiavellian to survive in the state of nature. The rule of nature is to win, nothing else. In the battle between herbivores and carnivores, the herbivores deceive the carnivores to escape them. The lion uses brute force to intimidate other animals into submission and to ensure its own survival.Right, but the philosophy is one of maximal exploitation and selfishness at the expense of everyone who is not you.
