Horns its up to you. Tail not likely but again its up to you. Depending on how normal verses demonic looking they (in normal social settings ie not hell) would likely benefit. In sections of Cheliax depending on you run it they might be more accepted as tiefling.
I would say the horns would grow back, but very slowly, probably more like the rate of fingernails or perhaps even slower than on par with hair.
Tail, probably not barring magic.
Unless it's a lizard-like tail. In which case it could double as trail rations.
A tail is easily concealed with a wide coat or so I guess, so there shouldn't be a big problem with that, don't need to cut it off.
Horns... hmm, the stumps would still be visible so he'd still have to hide the face most of the time anyway.
Maybe it's easier to get a Hat of Disguise. Can't turn into a human, since tieflings are Outsiders not humanoids... but you can disguise yourself as an Aasimar. :)

You see, I have difficulty with that since in Council of Thieves...
There is no reason you couldn't turn into a Tiefling that looks human because all their fiendish traits are internal.
Should a tiefling that has horns and a tailm decide to cut them off or grind them down , would they gain more acceptance for looking more human???? and would they grow back??
Don't do it. You may come to regret it. :(

Cutting off a tail could really mess with one's balance. I think there was one "what if" X-Men comic where Nightcrawler and other mutants had been turned completely "normal". It took him a long time just to learn how to walk again.
Horns? They may keep growing back and you'll probably have to do some Hellboy-ish upkeep on them, but keeping them filed down may make them easier to hide.
It presents an interesting, and painful, internal dilemma for tieflings: Do they self-mutilate in an attempt to gain acceptance or do they keep trying to get others(and possibly themselves) to accept them as they are?

Depends on what the rest of the tiefling looks like. Sometimes it's subtle, sometimes it's extreme.

Subtlety with Tiefling appearance went out with 4.0 and Pathfinder seems to have gone with that approach if you look at the drawings. From what I've seen of player tiefling and dark-kin characters (a watered down version of Tiefling from Arcanis) subtle was never that popular anyway.Depends on what the rest of the tiefling looks like.

Subtlety is still supported. The random traits chart from Council of Thieves/Blood of Fiends has numerous options available, and then there's Pathfinder's most visible tiefling, Radovan, whose big physical giveaway is a set of teeth that "looks like broken glass".
