No. High tension towers are themselves usually made of metal. If corrosion were a problem, they would corrode more readily near the tops, where the magnetic field is strongest. Take a look at a few with a pair of binoculars. You don't see them corroded more at the top than anywhere else, do you?

Not if the pipeline is externally coated, although pipelines are placed well away from power lines wherever possible.
The cathodic protection test points along the pipeline are monitored and any imbalance of the earth-to-soil potential would be noticed and corrective action taken.

If the lines run close and parallel for an
appreciable distance, you might get some
circulating current.
Youd have to take measurements to determine
the extent of the risk.
