What is replacement value coverage?

This is defined as the cost to repair without regard to depreciation. All the homeowners policies that I have seen have a cap of 4 time the ACV or the policy limit, whichever is less. When you have a full replacement cost policy you also have the requirement to carry full replacement cost value on your policy at 100%. What this means is that if you don't have enough coverage to pay the full replacement cost, then you will be penalized on every claim whether large or small. For this reason, you only want to carry full replacement cost if you are sure that you have enough coverage to avoid the penalty.

Does my million dollar insurance covers if my neighbor's trees damage my house?

The Coverage A section of your policy covers the home itself. Damage from a tree falling whether on your property or off your property would be covered by this coverage less your deductible.

If the neighbors tree was dead and the neighbor knew or should have known it was in this condition, then the neighbor may be liable for the damage under his policy's liability section. This would be determined if it was decided that he was negligent by not taking down the tree beforehand. In this case there would be no deductible paid by you. Also, if your policy paid for the damages, they may decide that liability exists on the neighbors part and recoup the damages from the neighbor's policy. If this occurs your deductible would be reimbursed to you when damages are collected from the neighbor or his policy.
