1) Yes, you can trip opponents who are more than 5' away from you that are less than 15' away, assuming you mean longspear, rather than spear.
2) Yes, but you have the potential of provoking two AoOs for doing so. Trying to do a trip maneuver, without Improved Trip, provokes an AoO. Performing an attack unarmed, if you don't have the Improved Unarmed Strike feat, also provokes.
3) Yes, you can sunder an opponent's equipment, as long as they are at that 10' mark, since a lucerne hammer has reach.
4) Assuming by "clse combat" you mean against an adjacent enemy, no, the lucerne hammer is not one of the few reach weapons which can also threaten adjacent. And, again, trying to sunder with an unarmed strike, since that is about the only option when your hands are full of a two-handed weapon, will potentially provoke two AoOs.

You are right.

FAQ says longspear can be used improvised against adjacent targets.
Edit: Just noticed this thread was an archaeological exercise.

what if i am a monster trying the manouver with a natural attack? could the target make the AoO aiming my body part used to try the manouver during the attack?
Shogal wrote:You would provoke an AoO from your target as normal. However, if your target cannot reach you, they cannot take the AoO.If i try a manouver, without the apropriate feats, but out of the target's reach, does it still do an Attack of opportunity?

Dont you need a "Trip"-Weapon if you want to use it to trip?
Thus that you cant trip at 10ft, as the spear is not a trip weapon. While you could trip at 5ft with your legs or bodycheck etc. regardless of what kind of non-trip-weapon you would be holding in your hands.
Incorrect.
If you want to make a trip combat maneuver, do you have to use a weapon with the trip special feature?
No. When making a trip combat maneuver, you don't have to use a weapon with the trip special feature--you can use any weapon. For example, you can trip with a longsword or an unarmed strike, even though those weapons don't have the trip special feature. Note that there is an advantage to using a weapon with the trip special feature (a.k.a. a "trip weapon") when making a trip combat maneuver: if your trip attack fails by 10 or more, you can drop the trip weapon instead of being knocked prone.
On a related note, you don't have to use a weapon with the disarm special feature (a.k.a. a "disarm weapon") when making a disarm combat maneuver--you can use any weapon.
