First the suit will not be filed against the insurance company but against you as the homeowner. Your insurance company will come in and protect you from the suit. This is covered under your liability section of the insurance policy. Your coverage includes legal fees in addition to the amount of coverage on your liability section.
No suit should be filed against your homeowners insurance but any liability suit would be filed against the homeowner themselves. At that point you would turn it over to your insurance company and they would take care of everything. The person suing would have to prove you were negligent for something causing damage to them.
No. A broken faucet sounds like a maintenance or a manufacturer issue and not an insurance problem. Insurance covers events that happen due to a covered cause such as : fire, theft, lightning, windstorm, weight of ice or snow, and many others. The covered item happen in a sudden and accidental manner for them to be covered as well. At no time does a homeowners policy cover maintenance problems. This is not what a homeowners policy was designed to do.
It might be a good idea if you happen to live in sink hole territory.
It is possible that you have to be occupying the house to be covered by insurance. They see it as unprotected by the owner and anything could happen to it. I cant possibly be the first person to try and insure a property Im not occupying. Homeowners insurance covers your home, and a house you are renting to someone else is not your home. It can be insured, but you need a different policy.

Not unless you are somehow liable for your mothers injuries. Accidents happen everywhere, in the home, in the park, at church and on the sidewalks. Your moms existing medical insurance will see to her health needs.
You will need to speak with your insurance agent. Be very careful because the homeowners policy that she had states that once she moves out of the house an has been moved out for 90 days the homeowners policy ceases to provide coverage. You will need to purchase a vacant dwelling policy unless you happen to rent the home ot while she is in a nursing home.
The question is not clear enough to answer completely. Why are other peoples "goods" on your property? Do you own a warehouse? A storage facility? Do you offer storage to these people for their goods? Or, did the goods just "happen" to coincidentally be there in the wrong place at the wrong time? In the first instances - you should have had insurance to cover the eventuality of theft. In the last case, your homeowners or business insurance should cover it.
Your coverage should kick in - if it was a matter of fault, you will be in the driver's shoes unfortunately.
