If he knows for sure the property is abandoned he may repossess it immediatley, if he is uncertain he can get an order of repossesion.
Not in any U.S. state that I know of.
The taking of possession of property means basically having total control over it. If the property is a rental property and the landlord hands you the keys, then you are in legal possession of the property, something that the landlord cannot take back unless he legally evicts you.
Most states have a rule, under their landlord and tenant act, that if the rent is due, and a specific time has passed - in most states it's 15 days - and there is evidence that the property has been abandoned, such as the electricity being turned off, then the landlord may take possession of the property without going to court.
To cut to the chase, yes. When a writ of possession is being served, the Law Enforcement Agency will first post a notice to vacate, which will identify when they will take possession of the property (about a week after the notice.). When they take possession, the landlord or their agent will accompany or meet the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO). The LEO will ensure the peace, while the Landlord takes possession, if necessary the LEO will remove the tenant, then usually the landlord changes the locks. If the tenant is home, they will be ordered off the property, and removed if necessary. If they resist they may be jailed. If they return it is trespassing. If the tenant is not home, the landlord usually has a locksmith open the property and change the locks. If the tenant still has stuff on the premises which has not, and cannot immediately be removed, each state has procedures for storing left behind property, giving notice, time limits, and selling, or disposing of abandoned property.
Generally, when real property is "abandoned" there are other entities that can acquire title legally. If there is a mortgage in default, the bank can foreclose and take possession of the property. If there is no mortgage and the owner has abandoned the property the town can take possession of the property for non-payment of property taxes. Title to real estate must be transferred legally. If you are thinking of acquiring property by adverse possession, in Mississippi, the duration of such possession is ten (10) years. Mississippi Code §15-1-7, 13.
The question is too general. Every state has differing laws on when property may be considered "abandoned" and what the steps are that you must take in an attempt to contact the owner. Only after all these conditions are met, may you then consider the property to be abandoned and take possession of it.

An order for possession is a legal document issued by a court that gives the landlord the right to take back possession of a property from a tenant. It is typically requested in cases of eviction due to non-payment of rent or breaches of the tenancy agreement. The order sets out a date by which the tenant must vacate the property, failing which the landlord can seek further legal action to enforce the order.
yes
In reference to real property that has been abandoned the town must initiate a court action to take possession of the property for non-payment of property taxes. Once that procedure has been completed the town is the new owner and can sell the property at an auction. If you have a particular property in mind you can visit the tax assessor's office and inquire about that property.
