As for carrying someone along who is night current -- unless they're
CFI or Commercial, isn't that the point? To get current to carry
passengers? If CFI or Commercial, then they could be considered
the PIC and you're the passenger so it's legal.

If the other pilot is acting as pilot in command, there is no problem
bringing them along. They do not need to be a CFI or hold a Commercial
Pilot certificate in order to act as pilot in command. They simply need to
meet the same "acting PIC" requirements that any other pilot would for
carrying passengers (since the pilot manipulating the controls would be a
passenger).
