Street Photography Now! is one of the better portfolio/essay books about street photography and covers a wide range of photographers and styles. But all of these are worth your time and money.
Alex Webb and Matt Stuart are two of my favorites. If you're interested in a great street photography book that shows you many different styles, check out Street Photography Now. I find that books are really helpful for learning about other photographers, especially the greats. It's nice to have something physical.
Whether or not this is ethical could be argued about all day and everyone has a different opinion. What I will say though, is that these photos are very cliché and overdone. You can find them in every beginners portfolio and they're never that great, in my opinion. A lot of people think they're being a hero by doing it, or they think it's edgy, but majority of the time it's just rude and tasteless. Unless the photos that you take of them are going to directly help them, and is the only way to help them, I don't think it's worth it. Just buy them a meal and move on with your day.
If you really want to get into street photography, try taking photos that candidly show what it was like to be at location at a certain point of time. Look at the work of Vivian Maier for great inspiration.
I would also suggest this book. Notice how each photo almost puts you in that location in the time it was taken.
I don't mean to sound like I'm shooting your idea down, but you can definitely become a better photographer through different means.
