Do it. Always.

Not if you just started and are happy, if less than a year in and no negative feelings, it's nice and productive to focus on current position and growth and enjoy a bit of stress free from constant job search and distraction of "grass greener on the other side" situations. If truly intriguing and you are open to leaving current place, sure.

Always take the interview. Networking, learning about the competition, determining what you want or dont is vital to keeping your expertise fresh.
