This depends on how liberally you want to interpret the life estate clause which states the life estate holder retains the right to use and enjoy the property for as long as they live.
The most conservative interpretation is that the person must live on the property.
The most liberal interpretation says that the property is theirs to do with as they please. They cannot encumber the property without the title holders permission though. No mortgages or long term leases.
You should consult with an attorney in your area who is familiar with the laws in your state.
Without a will the property must go into probate. There is no other way to transfer the property.
If you are equal owners, the contract can only encumber your sister's half interest. She cannot contract to sell your interest.
A life estate holder has the right to the use and possession of real property for the duration of their natural life. They do not own the property but the property cannot be mortgaged or sold by the fee owners without the consent of the life estate holder. The life estate is extinguished when the holder dies.
No. Only the fee owners can mortgage the property and they can only do so with the written consent of the life tenant.

The siblings are the legal owners of the property so they would be legally liable. For example, if someone was injured on the property they would sue the legal owners. If the property taxes were not paid the legal owners would be liable and the property would be taken as against the legal owners.
