Some dude did the same thing with a laser cutter and a telescope. Not sure if it was posted here or somewhere else. He was cutting palm trees and was actually cutting branches off. He was lighting the trees on fire too. This tech is probably best for live tree trimming. Don't be a plane in the background though.

Depends the distance, These devices have adjustable lens to focus the beam, so I don't think it would do any damage over a mile away.

I suppose if you had a 2" lens focused 100' away. At 35,000 ft the beam would be 700" in diameter or about 58'. A circle with diameter of 58' is about 2671 sqft. 1000w laser applied with no losses is about .375 w/sqft or 0.00256 w/sqin. Your logic checks.
