A) You will need a dense material based on Mass Loaded Vinyl that is Weather proof and UV resistant.
Sound absorbing material such as foam blankets or anything of the sort hang over the fence will do nothing for soundproofing of your house.
Many people confuse these terms. “Absorbing sound” means sucking up the sound that is already in your room.
“Soundproofing” means preventing the sound from entering (in your case) the room.

A) For stucco ceilings, attach a flat horizontal support first. For example, you can attach a wooden frame (like 2 x 4 studs) and then attach the ceiling track support brackets to that flat support.
Here is a video on hanging blankets from a drop ceiling that may help give you an idea how this is done.
A) The difference might be marginal. But in theory, loose fiber would absorb sound better.
This is because in loose fiber each of the filaments have to be agitated individually, therefore more sound energy being spent on “shaking ” each individual fiber. In tightly pressed filler the fibers that are “stuck together” being agitated together as one — so less sound energy being spent and absorption would be less.
At the same time it is more difficult to vibrate heavier, larger fibers, than it is the lighter and shorter fibers. This is why the longer and denser fibers would absorb more of the lower frequency sound waves.

A) To lessen the sound of Piano for your downstairs neighbor without major work: you can do the following:
1) Place the piano legs on rubber pads. -> this will reduce the sound transmission through structural elements.
2) cover the back of the Piano with VB70 or MS 70 Blanket. -> This will dampen the sound from sounding board.
