The water would be higher in the pipe due to air pressure . How much higher than the pond's level.? So If I drilled a small hole in the pipe just below the pipe's water level, would the water flow out of the hole for ever??? Providing the air pressure remained consistent.

If the pipe is open at both ends, the air pressure would be exactly the same per sq cm inside as out. The water level might be fractionally higher in the pipe due to capillary action but the difference would be very small.
If you closed the top end of the pipe and drew out all the air you would have an aneroid barometer. You would need about 32 feet of pipe to show the difference of level due to the effect of air pressure on a column of water.
If you drilled a second hole just beneath the surface of the water, it would have no effect because the column of water supported by air pressure would be the same.

Water seeks it's own level. The water would rise to the top of the pond,not above it. The air pressure is equal in the water in the pond and in the pipe.
