depends on the hitch and how big the vehicle being towed is
15 feet unless towing larger objects that cannot be easily taken apart
This is different from country to country and is illegal in some places.
This figure is undoubtedly going to be different from state-to-state. Check with your state DMV, or your State or perhaps your local police.

depends on how high the hitch is and how high the vehicle being towed is
Must not be more than 15 feet long unless you are towing poles, pipes, machinery, or other objects that cannot be easily taken apart.
A vehicle in tow can be up to 53 feet in length, and can have a bridge of 41 feet between the drive axles of the tow vehicle and the axles of the vehicle in tow (except for California, where a 40' bridge limit is in effect).
There are no specific laws on this.Paraphrasing the law that states that the hitch set up shall:Prevent the towed unit from moving more than 2 inches side to side while travelingThe rating and strength must "EXCEED" the weight of the towed unit.The overall length of the tow vehicle and towed unit must not exceed the limit for the type of combination.
This is the maximum amount of weight a vehicle can tow, if what being towed has brakes. A towed vehicle with brakes (electronic brakes) responds to the same braking that the vehicle doing the towing has. If the vehicle being towed does not have brakes, the maximum towing capacity is much less.
Probably not. The risk was yours since towing was the logical next step for failing to meet the requirements of the loan. It was your failure to meet the requirements of the loan which led to the vehicle being repossessed which subsequently caused the vehicle to be towed. All the towing company needs to do is to prove that they used standard towing practices.
The vehicle being towed has to have physical damage coverage itself in order to be covered for damage. A vehicle towing another vehicle does transfer the liability insurance to the trailer or object it is legally towing but the physical damage done to the object being towed does not transfer.
If one vehicle is towing another by chain or any other means on a public highway, it is advisable to warn other road users by placing a sign on the back of the vehicle which is being towed which reads ON TOW
