You need to review the rules and regulations for your particular community. If you can't find that rule in the recorded documents then you should ask the HOA to provide you with the documentation that gave it that authority. If you still have questions you should contact the attorney who represented you when you purchased your property.
Yes. A note on the interest part--your state's law will dictate what interest, if any, you will receive. And you will assume the HOA's liability--if the lien is later declared invalid, you will be responsible for the homeowner's court costs. Make sure that it is a part of the sale of the lien that the HOA will cooperate in any foreclosure proceedings that might occur to collect the lien--without them, the homeowner will likely win.
You need to pay HOA fees on a regular basis, typically monthly or annually, as outlined in your homeowner's association agreement.
If you are referring to an individual homeowner's exterior mailbox - - Yes. They may be attached to, or hung ON, the outside. But, under U.S. Postal Service regulations, they may NOT be placed INSIDE them. If you have one of the through-the-door slots, the slot can be used to deliver anything into the house, they are not considered to be "mailboxes" under the law. If you are referring to a streetcorner mailbox owned by the U.S.P.S., or a free-standing 'central delivery' box used for multiple residences - No definitely not.

No as long as the mailbox doesn't violate your HOA codes you are fine.
Your question assumes that the deed holder and the owner are two separate people, one or both of which have their name on the deed. Or, the deed is held by a bank, or other entity. Association assessments are the responsibility of the owner listed on the deed, whether the owner or deed holder is a resident or not.
Your question sounds like there was an original HOA, which was superseded by a new HOA. Every HOA collects assessments to operate the community, and as an owner, your governing documents define your responsibilities to pay and the association's responsibilities to collect assessments. The new HOA has its own form of assessments, regardless of the form of assessments paid to the original HOA.
Your bankruptcy attorney can help you determine whether or not the special assessment was part of your bankruptcy proceeding.
Depends on the laws of the state; the HOA should have its attorney check this. But the question is how did the sale occur without the HOA providing a standard letter certifying that all dues were paid to date of sale unless your state does not require this? The HOA should have filed its lien against the unit prior to the sale, too, if state law granted it that right.
No, an HOA management company typically does not pay for any losses in a homeowner's insurance claim. Homeowners insurance is a separate policy that homeowners are responsible for purchasing and maintaining. The HOA management company is responsible for managing the common areas and implementing the HOA rules, but they do not cover individual homeowner's insurance claims.
This term usually applies to some action by an owner, tenant, resident or guest that violates the guidelines written in your governing documents for the homeowner association.
