The concern of the road encroaching on your property: an established road cannot be moved.
The best place to start with questions about dividing their property would be to contact Lincoln County Zoning to see if the split is possible and how it can be done.
Possible access problems due to not knowing who owns the property to the north and west of their lot: once they have their survey recorded, they should check with land records for the owners of the property north and west of the described lot and they will be able to tell you who the owners are.
