What a nice neighbor you are! The amount of water needed is entirely weather-dependent, but a good, deep soaking is always preferable to frequent but shallow watering sessions. In terms of the fruit, yes go ahead and do some thinning, removing about 10 percent of the smallest peaches to make room for others to grow to full maturity. As for the new foliage, let it grow—it’s a good sign that your neighbor has a healthy tree.
