Don't call Andy, will you?


Would it be OK to use "won't you" as a tag in the sentences above? If so, would the meaning remain the same?

It doesn't matter if the main part is positive or not in imperatives: in either case the tag should be "will you", right?

BTW, is "right" in the last sentence also a tag?
