The person backing up can be held accountable, since he is responsible for knowing what is in his line of backing. However, you can also be held responsible for blocking his driveway, this is considered a safety hazard. Most city ordinances have laws against parking on sidewalks and blocking private entranceways and driveways. So, you both could be in trouble but the car blocking the driveway will be cited with stiffer fines.
Note that most states have some form of comparative negligence in analyzing cases like this. It is likely that the vehicle blocking the driveway would be assigned some level of negligence for blocking the driveway. However, it is probable that the majority (if not all) of the negligence would be assigned to the person backing out of the driveway, because his vehicle was in motion and he is supposed to be aware of its direction and speed of travel and any potential hazards it may encounter in its path. If I had to make a guess, negligence might be assigned 90/10 or 80/20. Depending on the jurisdictions form of comparative negligence, any damages would be split accordingly.
If you hit them it is your fault, if they won't move to let you out or you can't find them cal the police.
depends on the city/state you live in. Wilmington, DE requires boats to be parked on a paved surface but not past the front edge of your house. I.E. on a side driveway or in a garage.
4 Feet from either edge of driveway.
You cannot block the driveway unless it is your driveway and no other tenants live there. In most states you must be at least 2 feet from the driveway edge.

Turn wheels to edge of road. If car starts to roll backward down hill, it will back off of the road.
it might be wise to order a 'survey' to determine exactly where the property lines are and determine if there are any encroachments by you or your neighbor. surveys cost roughly $250 - $300.
Prince George's County in Maryland is not directly on a major fault line. However, it is located near the eastern edge of the Appalachian mountain range, where there is potential for seismic activity from distant fault lines.
