Depends on how far away they are. If they are 100 light years away, they see the light that left the Earth 100 years ago.

Well, if they were thousands of light years away they would. If they were 250 miles about the earth right ow, they would see us as we are, right now.

Depends on their distance from Earth. If they are 100 Light years away, then then will see us as we were 100 years ago.

They'd see us as we were 1.28 seconds ago.

No matter how far away they are, if they are outside of our solar system, they would need a telescope with an astronomically HUGE mirror to see any kind of detail on Earth.
