Does anyone know if the 101st ABN Airmoble Unit in November 1969 through November 1970 Camp Eagle Vietnam ever underfire by means of a sapper attack or mortar or anyother else?

The Vietnam Memorial pages don't mention the camp name, but do give the Thua Thien province as the place of death of a number of 101st men during this time. Some died from small arms fire and some from fragmentation. Others died in helicopter crashes. So, yes.
The answer is actually easier than that. Anywhere they send the 101st into a combat situation, they will be in a hot area. That is the nature of Airborne. There was no large camp or firebase that did not receive sniper fire, rockets, mortars, and sappers coming under the wire. And the time frame in the question, less than a year after the Tet offensive, was a very rough time for people stationed near Hue (where Camp Eagle was located).
