P,
But what happens when we DO find it?

Assume we find bulletproof evidence of a life form. Some sort of mold or something.

What do we do first? Kill it to study it? Pollute its environment with our probes and rovers? Muck around with its DNA?

Is there a method, or toolset, that allows us to learn about alien life without being invaders from outer space?

Kidnap it.

Yes. I'm pretty sure that NASA has procedures already in place for this. I can't locate a link at the moment.

We could ask it to take us to its leader.
