Yes, a 4-ton outside condenser unit can work with a 5-ton inside air handler, but it may not operate efficiently. The condenser's capacity is lower than the air handler's, which could lead to undercooling or insufficient dehumidification. It's generally best to match the capacities of the condenser and air handler for optimal performance and efficiency. Consulting an HVAC professional for proper sizing and compatibility is recommended.
The central air condenser releases heat from inside your home to the outside. As it works to cool the air inside, the condenser unit becomes hot due to the heat exchange process. This heat is a byproduct of the refrigerant cycle, where the refrigerant absorbs heat from inside your home and releases it outside.
The compressor in an AC unit is typically located outside the building, near the condenser unit.

near the compressor on the wall of the cooling condenser
Unplug the electrical outside service connector for the air condenser. Something is miswired.
you add the refrigerant in your outside unit but still is going to circulate to your inside unit doing a complete loop
The condensing type of this air conditioning unit is a split system, where the condenser unit is located outside the building.
yes if it's summer and you hot air blowing up from the condenser outside it is working
Most common problems that causes this in order:Plugged inside house air filterPlugged or blocked return or outlet ductsPlugged or dirty condenser unit (outside of house)Plugged condensation drain on central unit inside houseAllowing outside air into house, open windows, doors etc.Mechanical or electrical problem with unitCheck in order before calling a repair guy.
Only if the outside unit is a heat pump.
The small copper pipe is the liquid line carrying refrigerant from the condenser unit to the evaporator coil inside, so it is cooled down by the expansion of the refrigerant inside it. The larger copper pipe is the suction line carrying warm refrigerant vapor from the evaporator coil to the condenser unit, so it feels hot due to the heat absorbed during the cooling process.
The AC condenser unit is located right in front of the radiator.
