Read your governing documents to determine your rights to erect a fence.
Yes. As long as you do not impede the easement rights of the owner of the easement.
It is likely that you are liable for any damage if your neighbor has easement rights to maintain a water line. If they have easement rights it is likely they include the right to replace and repair the lines. You should check your deed first. Easement rights may be mentioned. If not, you should contact the attorney who represented you when you purchased your property and ask if the property is subject to any easement rights that are not mentioned in your deed.It is likely that you are liable for any damage if your neighbor has easement rights to maintain a water line.

The rights are set forth in the document that created the easement. You need to review that document.
It really depends on the nature of the easement. And the nature of the easement depends on the terms of the easement. Appart from state law which generally defines an easement, the terms of the individual easement usually limit the usage of the easement property...or rather subject the holder of the rest of the property and what is left after the use of the easement to what can and cannot be done on/with/to the land/sky/land beneath the easement. (It is convenient to see an easement as an area with clear boundries, most of the time; however, easements are really rights to use the area a certain way in opposition to the holder of all the other rights to do with it as he pleases.) You really have to know the terms of the easement.
Yes. You should record it before the document is lost and with it your easement rights.
Yes. When landowners grant an easement they are effectively selling some portion of their ownership rights in that land, so they can't sell the easement. The deed of sale must cite any diminutions of the selling owner's rights in the land being sold, and that includes easements. So, while ownership of the land transfers, ownership of the easement rights remains with the easement owner.
Not likely, the easement is there because of something that the utility company has in place there. It also provides the ability to run utility lines from one place to another including your neighbors' homes. If the easement isn't being used by the utility company they may release it for a fee. In the case of very old easement rights in Massachusetts there are liaisons at the utility companies who can research an old easment for you and they will release it if it is not needed, no longer used or if it was never used. There is a fee of at least several hundred dollars.
That depends on the details none of which have been included here. It depends on how the easement was worded. The easement may expire when the original grantee no longer owns the benefitted land. If it was granted to the grantee and their assigns, the easement rights will pass with the land if he sells the land to a new owner. Generally, the grantee of an easement right cannot sell or assign the rights to a third party, for example, a neighboring landowner. The deeds need to be examined for a definitive answer.That depends on the details none of which have been included here. It depends on how the easement was worded.

conservation easement
You need to review the document that created the easement in order to determine what rights you may have within the easement area. Most utility easements require that the area within the easement be kept clear of structures, trees and brush.
The rights of an easement holder vary substantially among jurisdictions...However - in general -If the true property owner will assert his ownership rights and prevent the use that is being made by the holder(s) of the easement...the easement will not become binding and will have no force. The amount of time lapsed since the use had begun is the key, and that time varies, according to jurisdiction.
