With my house in Texas- I own the mineral rights so I own all the way down. Restrictions may prevent me from digging very deep- the city can keep me from doing that- but I do own it.
So the wisdom here is that everyone on earth is your neighbor.

In the US, for the most part you do. Probably doesn't include mineral rights as they are generally retained by developers, and water rights are subject to a lot of local jurisdictional issues

Unlikely. The deed usually contains restrictions stating that others have reserved mineral and/or airspace rights.

Yes but that does not include the mineral rights.

one of us said jurisdiction, he means state.
Most states give "to the stratosphere and to the center of the earth
others give x feet above the ground and nothing beneath the dirt [if something
is unearthed, it belongs to the state]

Depends on the jurisdiction.
