Absolutely not! The property line is where the fence is due to the legal doctrines of adverse possession and mutual acquiescence. You need to see a real estate attorney in your area ASAP to prevent the fence from being removed and to assert your rights. Even if the fence has been removed, you can likely still get justice. The link below will give you a basic understanding of adverse possession, which will be supplemented by the advise of your attorney.

That depends. If the tree partially on your property, then yes but your neighbor will be extremely angry and it will reduce the value of their estate immensely (I would know- it happened to me). Or you could ask... but that most likely will not work. But otherwise you cannot remove their tree.

Your next door neighbor has attached a fixture to your house are you legally allowed to enter his property to remove it off your wall?

No, for two reasons. It would be trespassing on his land and it would be trespassing to his fixture. Technically, you would need to ask permission, or obtain a court order, if the neighbor does not agree to remove it. It is usually easier to sue for damages (trespass, property damage) rather than get an injunction.
