You can check to your heart's content. This isn't chess where "if you touch it, you have to move it." checking LOS is a natural way to establish if that's a valid target or not. If not, target something else. :-)

(5) In the scenario Casey Joneski (which I'm setting up to play, and hence all of my questions), does the train need to stop in the final hex 0413, or can it merely blast on through the hex (even if the ensuing hex has the railroad cut in it)?
The key is in the wording "The defender wins if the train reaches hex S1-0413 and survives." With the rail ending in 0413, you have to be able to stop in the hex; otherwise, the train would be wrecked, which would not satisfy the "survives" part of the requirement.
