Is the female pine cone a sporophyte?

A pine tree is generally a Sporophyte - a multicellular, diploid, spore-producing organism. However, the created spores are haploid, and thus begin the gametophyte phase, in which the microspores (pollen) and megaspores (female receptors), will combine back into a gamete, and begin the sporophyte stage again.

So, the pine tree is mostly sporophyte, but has very small gametophyte parts that create gametes. They're very small, but they're there.

Why aren't there much pine trees in grasslands?

The answer is in the question. Fire must be harmful to them. Pine trees, and other conifers have high levels of substances called turpines in their leaves. This serves two maior purposes, to make them taste foul (few animals graze on pine leaves) and to act as a kind of anti-freeze, so the leaves work all year round, even in subarctic conditions.

However, turpines are highly flammable, so pine saplings will rarely survive a grassland fire. The saplings don't survive on the grassland and the trees don't encroach.

Can yo cut the top off of a pine tree without killing it?

Depending on the individual tree and the amount removed, yes. This frequently happens as a result of mechanical damage (wind/snow, etc) or an insect or other creature feeding on it. Afterwards, the tree may stop growing upward (especially in older trees or with severe damage), or one or more branches under the area may take over as the tip of the tree and grow upward. The area is vulnerable to rot and other diseases, though, so death is possible.

Do some pine trees change color?
