There is no telescope made to date that will allow you to see something as small as the footprints on the Moon. Even the Hubble can only resolve objects a bit smaller than a football field.

Yes, they are still there. The Moon has no wind and no rain, so nothing has disturbed the surface of the Moon except for meteorites and human expeditions. No meteorite has struck the original landing site, and subsequent expeditions were careful not to damage the site. So Neil Armstrong's footprints are right where he left them, alongside the US flag that was placed there.

Sure -- if you go to the moon :) They're still there (there is no wind or rain on the moon to erode them), but they're way, way too small to see from earth with even the most powerful telescopes. Even the Hubble telescope in orbit can't see the leftovers of the lunar landers -- they're too small and too far away.
We *do* have photos of the Apollo landing sites taken years after the landings where you can see the lunar lander and some stuff the astronauts left behind -- they were taken with lunar orbiting spacecraft with high-resolution cameras.

They're there but tough to see at a quarter of a million miles away.
