#2 does not mean that the planet is on the other side of the sun. It just means that it is the same distance from the sun as the earth is. So your question is actually pretty pointless since we could just look straight at it unless it happened to be on the opposite side of the sun. We could then use a whole bunch of various methods to easily see it since it isn't that far away.


Well the question is pretty much pointless as he's assuming the planet would be in the very same orbit as Earth... Unless there was a perfect equation keeping one of the planets from being slightly faster or slower than the other, I would be more worried about the collision to be honest.
