The usual sequence is to open the cleanout, clear the blockage with a cable or a jetter, then run a camera to see what caused it and how much pipe is affected. The camera pass is the part that turns a repeat problem into a decision. Ask for the footage and the measured distance to the trouble spot.

Municipalities generally maintain the public main and nothing beyond it, so a blockage in your lateral stays yours even where it crosses public ground. Some places will send someone to check the main first, which is useful because it rules out the one thing that isn't your responsibility. Call the local public works office to ask before assuming either way.

Yes. Roots invade the line between the house and the tank and they also work into the leach field, where they can cut the field's capacity without any warning inside the house. Slow drains plus soggy ground over the field is the combination worth reporting when you call.

It depends on your policy and on what caused the backup, so contact your insurance provider to confirm what you carry. Backup coverage is often a separate endorsement rather than part of the base policy. Documenting the damage and keeping the plumber's findings helps whatever the answer turns out to be.
