Is it more difficult to notice the westward motions of stars that are high in the sky than those that are near the horizon?

Generally speaking, yes it is. But it's not just the idea of being high in the sky; it's how close the star is to the celestial pole.

How could light pollution and air pollution effect astronomy?
Light pollution and air pollution effect astronomy by making it more difficult to view the stars. If you notice, when you get out of the cities where there is less air and light pollution, you are better able to view the stars.
How does the appearances of a constellation seem to change at night?
The biggest notable change is that they appear to move across the sky. This is of course due to Earth's rotation, and not the constellation moving. Standing looking at a constellation, you will not notice it move. You would need something to relate it to, like something on the horizon. If you look very carefully, you will see movement. Over the course of a night, it will appear to move in an arc shape, rising and then setting. If you regularly viewed a constellation across a few days or weeks, you would also notice that the time they rise is different and the time they are visible at a certain point in the sky is different. You will not notice any change in the stars in relation to each other within a constellation. Even during a lifetime, never mind one night, a particular constellation will look the same to you, as the changes would be so slight. If the moon is visible near a constellation, you would notice some movement over the course of a night in relation to stars in the constellation, and certainly over the course of a few nights. If there is a planet near them, you will notice some movement, but not near as much as the moon. The nearer planets, like Venus and Mars are more noticeable in their changes compared to other planets.
Why do stars appear to twinkle at night?
Stars appear to "twinkle" because of the Earth's atmosphere. The turbulence of the atmosphere refracts the light from distant stars in different direction. This causes the star's image to flicker in between varying degrees brightness and position. Even our Sun, the closest star to Earth is affected by this, as one can tell by the slight shimmering around the Sun's edge. You will notice that stars closer to the horizon will appear to twinkle more than other stars. This is because there is a lot more atmosphere between you and a star near the horizon than between you and a star higher in the sky.

If you can see the horizon in the distance (like on a ship) you can notice the curvature of the earth. It's harder to notice when buildings and hills are in the way.

You will notice that the angle makes with respect to the horizon. Typically, you will find that the angle will be 90 minus the latitude of the observer.
When we are seeing moon in the evening seems to be bigger than the moon seeing in the midnight?
That actually depends. If you notice a full moon on the horizon, it seems bigger compared to other things on the horizon. When you notice the full moon closer to its zenith in the sky, it seems dwarfed by the vast expance of sky. The difference is an optical illusion.

Of course not. A lis pendens is a notice to you that there is a lawsuit pending that may affect the title to the real estate. It's a legal notice that there may be a BIG problem on the horizon. Your lawyer should have stopped the closing immediately until the matter is resolved.
