If they owned as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, when your mother dies her interest in the property would pass automatically to your daughter and bypass probate.

Can I transfer my house to a trust if I'm still paying it off?
You can convey your property to a trust but the property will still be subject to the mortgage. You must check with your bank before making that change in title. Most banks require an immediate payment of the mortgage when there is a change in ownership. The bank may require that you refinance in the name of the trust.

Ingress and Egress written in a deed?
'Ingress' means to enter and 'egress' means to leave. The words indicate that the property is subject to a right-of-way, without the right-of-way being described in detail (i.e., by 'metes and bounds).
You need to consult with an attorney who can review your situation and determine your options under your state laws. The details sound as though you would prevail in an adverse possession claim but you may need a court order to perfect that claim and clear the title to your property.
Wife signed quite claim to house to husband but can husband leave house to wife?
Yes. The husband would be the sole owner of the property and could leave it to his wife in his will.
Can one sell the whole of the property on a 50-50 share without the other consent?
No. The first rule of conveyancing is that a grantor can only sell what they own. When there are multiple owners of property any one owner can only sell their proportionate interest in the property. Therefore, if there are two people who own a single property, one can only sell their one-half interest. It may be difficult to find a buyer if the property is a single family dwelling. The one half interest may be conveyed if the property is held as tenants in common or as joint tenants.
The situation becomes more complicated if the property is owned in a tenancy by the entirety, a special tenancy reserved for married people. In a T/E the "survivorship rights" of the other cannot be severed. In some states one tenant by the entirety cannot sell their interest in the property. In some states they can transfer their interest but the grantee acquires a tenuous title that depends on the life of the grantor.
For example, Norah and Ethan owned property as T/E in Massachusetts. Ethan decided to leave (there was no divorce) and transferred his interest in the property by deed to his brother Liam. In some states that deed would be void. In this case the title would play out as follows. If Norah died then Liam would become the sole owner of the property. If Ethan died then Norah would become the sole owner because her survivorship rights with Ethan could not be severed. Liam would be out of luck.
It depends upon what you mean by co-owners. If they own the property as "Tenants in Common," then they each own a particular percentage of the property which they can pass along at their death to whomever they wish. If they own the property as Tenants in Common, then yes the deceased brother's share will have to go through probate (unless there was a recorded beneficiary deed).
If they own the property as "Joint Tenants" or "Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship" then once the first brother dies the property automatically passes to the surviving brother by operation of law. No probate would be necessary in that scenario. The surviving brother would just have to file an Affidavit of Death in the county where the property is located as well as a certified copy of the death certificate.
You will know how they own the property based upon what the deed originally conveying the property says. If the deed is silent, state law assumes Tenants in Common.

Another Perspective/AnswerWhen land is under co-ownership of two or more people who cannot agree on what to do with the land, any owner can file a Petition to Partition in the appropriate court.
The court has the power to divide the land if that is feasible such as when there are multiple tracts or a single large tract. If dividing the land is not feasible then the court can order a sale and the net proceeds are divided according to each owner's interest after the costs and expenses associated with the Partition have been deducted. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law.
Property owned as tenants-by-the-entirety cannot be partitioned.

Is it legal to sell landlocked property?
The answer depends on the details and the laws in your particular jurisdiction. Generally, if the owner owns a larger tract that abuts access they must provide access in most jurisdictions. If the parcel has been landlocked for a long period of time and the owner cannot provide access, a potential buyer may need to negotiate with abutters to purchase a right of way to the land. Also, a title examination may reveal an ancient right of way.
This is a complicated issue and you should consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate law before making any purchase of landlocked property.
