You won't go to jail or anything. although, government linked business such as the post, are very difficult to sue, cause the government backs them up and they will be able to "find" (make) loopholes wherever. but yeah you can.

It depends on the circumstances. Recommend you contact an attorney in your area to explain your situation.

They have the legal right to refuse delivery if the safety of the carrier is an issue. Make sure that your mail carrier can easily get to your mail box with no fear of ice or animals and that the gate is not locked.

Can the post office carrier refuse to deliver mail if mailbox is blocked?

Depending on the district you are in. Some districts allows the mail carrier to pass up a blocked box when others require them to dismount and deliver to the blocked box. also keep in mind that the mail carrier has on average 700 houses they have to deliver to each day. just a few dismounts at blocked boxes can get the carrier in trouble if it makes them late back to the post office.
