You can find the bicycle laws for your state by googling them. Generally speaking, you follow the same laws as cars with some special provisions that are based on our slower speed. That said, bicycles are pretty small potatoes when it comes to law enforcement and you can get away with more without getting in trouble. For the U-turn, you aren't likely to have a problem with doing it if you have a clear road. Look behind you before you pull a "Crazy Ivan", however. You don't want to get squished.
