1) Is what he is doing legal in an ag zone?
I’m no expert in real estate zoning, but from your description your neighbor seems to be operating an industrial / commercial business, not ag. That’s allowed (Curley’s Auto Repair, Wally’s, etc) but only with a Special Use Permit. When did he start his business? It may also be grandfathered in if it’s before the Special Use Permits were required.
In addition to the real estate office, you might ask a realtor about zoning and restrictions in HPP. You can look up whether he already has any permits on the Hawaii County Real Estate Tax page:

If you haven’t used the website before let me know and I can walk you through it so you can find his property.
