Your neighbor has begun to let the public have acces to a private gated parking area on her side of a shared driveway can she do this?
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.
If a tree limb is hanging into my property and is causing scratches to my car hanging into my driveway can we cut it down?
Yes. In most jurisictions you can remove tree limbs that overhang your property from your neighbor's tree. You should do it in such a way that the removal won't damage the tree. Let your neighbor know you will be having the limb removed in case he/she wants to have it done by their own landscaper.
Who is responsible when backing out of your own private driveway and hit a car parked in front of and obstructing the driveway?
It is the person who is blocking the private driveway's fault because they should have known not to park in front of a private driveway in the first place. However, if the private driveway is not marked with a sign of some sort to let people know that it is private, it may be the driveway owner's fault.

What do you think about a neighbor allowing her dog in heat to run free?
I think that it is dangerous, unless the dog has a supply of water. It is easy for a dog to get dehydrated. Your dog should only be let loose in the backyard, if you have a fence. You should talk to your neighbor about letting her dog out.

You are land locked to your property does neighbor have to let us cross his land to get to ours?
Depends where you are; you must research the law of the state where the land is located. Some states have laws that mandate access across the adjacent property to the nearest "public" road". Other states do not and you are at your peril buying land you can't get to via surface routes. If there is a navigable stream starting from some access point upstream to your land through the neighbor's you may have riparian rights but it may not help much depending on the water course. And if we're talking land that is zoned or can be zoned for incoming air traffic like a helicopter, it may not be an issue unless the neighbor could object if a zoning hearing is required....

In Alabama if your neighbor placed his barbed wire fence inside your property line does that make his fence yours?
You should clearly mark the actual boundaries of your land to let the neighbor know they installed fencing on your property. You may be able to prevent him from removing the fencing but it might be better in the long run to allow him to remove it. If you expect the matter to cause conflict, you should discuss the situation with an attorney who specializes in real estate law in your area who can review your situation and explain your options under the law. It is better to be informed of your rights before you act.
