A few radio telescopes in Australia received the first radio signals to be broadcast from astronauts on the surface of the moon. The movie "The Dish" largely depicts this event, about the radio telescope in the town of Parkes, NSW. Good movie, check it out. Some people claim it's a bit inaccurate in that it was another radio telescope (near Canberra ACT I think) that first got the signals, but it's still open for debate I believe.

No telescope recorded the first lunar landing. An Earth based scope would not be able to see the LM descend/ascend from the lunar surface. The only recording of the first lunar landing is the cameras aboard the "Eagle" showing the descent engines kicking up the dust. There were video cameras outside the LM that were activated as Neil Armstrong began his descent down the ladder.
The only other documentation was Collins in the CM.

There is no (not to say was) telescope that can see man made objects in the moon. Not even the Hubble (mostly because the moon is so bright that it would 'burn' the sensors) so there is no observable evidence of our landing. It is theorized that you could see the shadow of the lander bases when the sun is rising at their locations and thus their shadows are longer but to do that you'd waste good telescopic power in a very trivial pursuit.

Probably none - the detail level, especially from ground, would be much too low (too fuzzy) to spot it. I undertand that a telescope in orbit (no air) can find the remains of the lander.

None. It was recorded with cameras the astronauts took with them.
