Accepted answer

Is it necessary for the EU spouse to be physically right next to the non-EU spouse at all times?

(Speaking from my experience) No. It's not necessary for the EU spouse to accompany the non-EU spouse as long as the visa is valid (not expired).

What happens if, say, the non-EU spouse goes on a day trip to see a common friend in a different city alone? If this city is in a border country, there might be check on the train or bus, for instance.

Crossing the borders between the EU countries shouldn't be an issue as long as the non-EU spouse can prove his/her status of being an EU citizen's family member and the motive of his/her trip.
