No, assuming that it is, in fact, a shared driveway (see your deeds), neither neighbor has the right to obstruct the right of way. You can only park within your property lines; you cannot park so as to lie within the other neighbor's property. I had the same issue with my property, but later found out the driveway wasn't actually shared (it belonged to me!).
You need to review the document that created the shared driveway. Shared driveway agreements generally provide for maintenance and upkeep.
It all depends on whether the agreement has been formalized in writing. Check your deed and your neighbor's deed. It should be recited in the deeds or in an independent easement agreement. If it's not then you need to execute an agreement with the neighbor before they sell the property to a new owner. Otherwise you'll need to execute an agreement with the new owner. The only way to establish your rights would be by a court order.
The answer all depends on the language used when the shared driveway was created and state laws. It also depends on where exactly she is providing access, over the driveway easement or on her own land. If the land involved was specifically dedicated to a "shared driveway" to be shared by the owners of the abutting properties then she has no right to put the land to another use. You should consult with the attorney who represented you when you purchased the property. Shared driveway easements are an unending source of trouble when one or both owners overstep their rights. You need to check the language in the deeds and determine what state laws govern the easement. For that you need expert legal advice. You should act ASAP.
In the UK it can, if the driveway is private property.
If the driveway is on private property then in most states it is considered private property. Though laws differ still per state on this.
No. One party with rights to use a shared driveway cannot park so as to block the other user or owner. If you are a renter, complain to the owner of the property. If you are an owner you may need to request that an attorney send a letter explaining your legal rights.No. One party with rights to use a shared driveway cannot park so as to block the other user or owner.

In the driveway, yes because it is your own property. In the street, no because it is the government's property.
Of course you can. Your driveway is private property.
No, property repairs and improvements are the responsibility of the landlord. The landlord can however raise the person's rent to offset expenses, assuming there is not a valid rental agreement disallowing the action.
Generally a driveway connects the dwelling to the street. The owner of the lot on which the dwelling sits usually owns the driveway. There may be a different situation where the driveway is shared by two property owners or there exists a right of way over the driveway granted to the owner of another property. In that case the deeds to both properties must be examined to determine who has what rights- the right to use or ownership rights. A property owner cannot block a right of way that has been granted to another party at some time in the past.You may need to consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your area who can review the deeds and explain your rights and options. That should be scheduled as soon as possible and would be a wise investment.
If it's a public driveway then the property owner can charge. If it's a private driveway to a house then no you can't and shouldn't charge to park.
