Are all Nikon lens interchangeable?

All nikkor lenses (the name for nikon's lenses) have the same mount design. It is called an F-mount, and with this system any lens will fit any nikon camera. There are differences in some lenses that could change that answer though. If you camera is a DX format, an FX format lens is going to be automatically zoomed in and vice versa. Also some nikon lenses are PC (computer chip inside) and some are not. Some older pre AI Nikon lenses can damage some DSLRs if fitted. A FX lens on a DX camera will give exactly the same field of view as a DX lens of the same focal length on a DX camera. A DX lens on a FX camera will usually only image the center part of the frame with dark corners.

Will lens from N4004 fit D70 camera?

Yes. Nikon cameras have the distinct advantage over other cameras because they are backwards compatible with any Nikon lens. In short, any Nikon camera can mount any Nikon lens. The problem is how much of the lens capabilities are retained when used on a different camera. Depending on the lens' mounting system and the Nikon camera, the lens may or may not be able to autofocus or meter. Also, if you use an FX lens (from a film or D3/D700 camera) on a DX (digital DSLR) camera, the focal lengths will be different than on the film camera. More specifically, it will be 1.5 times the focal length of the film camera. (more zoomed in)

What lens for a Nikon d5000 should you choose?

With few exceptions, you're going to be much better off only buying Nikkor lenses. Stay away from Sigma and Tamron. The D5000 doesn't have a focus motor, so only buy lenses AF-S, AF-I, or G lenses if you want auto focus. I'll assume you already have the mediocre kit lens (18-55mm). Next you should invest in a fast prime. The Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G AF-S or the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G AF-S are both excellent lenses.
